Now for the really emotionally loaded topics.
I couldn’t be more excited to reunite with all of my Stateside friends again. Some of these friends are ones I’ve stayed in touch with and will be able to see again on a regular basis. Soon I’ll be reuniting also with Thea, Natalie, and Emily in DC–exciting event! My extended stay in Maryland will also mean I’ll get to touch base with high school friends whom I haven’t seen for years. And a recent post on Facebook clued me in that several of my Middlebury friends whom I’ve been out of touch with are living in New York City, and I’m thrilled at the prospect of being able to hang out with them again soon. It’s times like those that make you realize how valuable Facebook is–it makes getting back in touch effortless and natural. I love making new friends, but reconnecting with old ones is in many ways even better.
