"It's a shame about the weather, but I'll know soon we'll be together, and I can't wait 'til then."

Allegedly, assuming we're not behind schedule, I should be landing in Boston tomorrow. This is the last of the three gigantic posts I wrote in advance. If I planned this out correctly, I'll be finding my way to a Boston station and take a train from there all the way back to Penn Station in Baltimore. (This post also serves as a reminder to my parents- Pick me up soon! I'll call you)

Though this is just a prediction (I wrote this in June!), I most likely had the time of my life. You spend two months seeing Europe, with (what seems to be) a great group of peers from across the entire country, you're bound to good times, one way another. Sure the travels would be stressful, but for the magical moments of triumphantly getting where you want to be, and enjoying the moment, there's no satisfaction like that. Hopefully I'll have tasted it more than half a dozen times, hehe.

But for as much fun I (assumed I) had, no matter what actually happened, I know I'll look forward to nothing more than sharing these moments with you, my friends. I'm sure I've already done a bit of that, sending posts to this blog via email for the world to read. Hopefully I'll have had time to post pictures up too (otherwise I'm in for a long week of uploading pictures to imgur). But whenever we reunite, I'll be down for sitting back, enjoying cerveza, and talking til dawn anywhere you want.

Has this journey changed me at all? You'll have to ask me that in person. Hopefully, I'll learn a thing or two with Italian. Maybe I'll learn and be confident enough in French to add that to my Facebook languages. I would hope I would be more confident in navigation so that I don't have to rely on that GPS as much. But more importantly, hopefully I'll have some combination of confidence, self-esteem, and worldliness that I can feel like the world is at my fingertips. ... Also I'd like to be able to ask a girl out in more or less five languages (I was up to two prior to the voyage). I might pull that out on one girl I've had my eye on when I get back- that would be glorious. Again, ask me if I'm any of these things- if not, just punch me right in the gut. And if I can, force me to ask a girl out with all five or so phrases because you know I'm too reserved to do so otherwise.

See you all very soon!
