Back in America

Well boys and girls, I'm back home in sunny San Diego (or...Oceanside/Vista area if you're going to be particular).

And it is sunny. And really hot. And really lovely as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to hop back on a plane for however many hours it takes, and be back in Copenhagen. Tomorrow.Or right now? I don't have to pack...I could be ready to go in three seconds if you want to buy me a ticket. Please? Anyone? Sigh. Some day my real parents, the King and Queen of a vast and very rich empire, will come back and tell me that I have a huge inheritance to collect on.

But really, it is nice to be back. It's fabulous to see all of my friends down here, hang out in my old haunts, and spend quality time with the family. It feels a lot like I never left.

Except that the toilets here are weird.

And the light switches are upside down....

and I keep trying to get my plug adapter every time I want to charge my laptop battery.

Oh and then on the 4th of July everyone drank beer and wore American flags and there were fireworks. I love this country. I feel like having a 4th of July party right after I got home was an excellent way to welcome myself back to the US of A.  There was also the giant marshmallow fight on Ocean Beach that was so typical San Diego I could have died of happiness. And I spent the time with such great friends, and great booze, and great sunshine!

As much as I whine and moan (or will wine and moan in the coming months) about not being in Europe right now, I have a ridiculous amount of things to look forward to in the next few weeks. Apartment hunting, job hunting, transfer student counselling hunting, the perfect California Burrito hunting, all these lovely things are going on in my life, and it is really exhausting exciting to be diving back into it all.

I will eventually finish posting about my Italy trip. I have lots of pictures that I would love to share.

For now I guess that's all, but I wanted to drop a little something here to let everyone know I'm alive, and will continue attempting to update this blog.

I miss all my friends and family in Copenhagen, and think of you everyday!


Until next time,
Leanderthal
