sitting back in wyoming hasn't quite hit me yet...
i think i was too busy seeing people, getting paperwork done, little tasks, to be too reminiscent about scotland and edinburgh as a whole... the thought that i have left edinburgh for now hasn't really struck a chord, although it nearly made my sister cry...
i will miss it, it is home to me as much as st paul, north dakota, and my own imagination...
the castle, with all its grandeur, arthur's seat with its means of escape, the cobblestone streets, the lack of a clothes dryer, the smell of gorse in the air in spring, the constant unpredictable rain...
but its the people that make any place worth missing... i'm not going to go there tonight, cuz then i'll actually get emotional, and jet lag is setting in...
but edinburgh was home, and it will be my last permanent home for the next year... now that's a bit scary...
my return to wright has been fun so far... i went for a walk with the dog and saw two people from my graduating class that i hadn't seen in a long long time, good to catch up... unpack and repack, and prepare a presentation for the h.s. biology classes tomorrow... its done... mostly done :) but home? i don't know if wright is home for me... i lived here for less than a year, and it was fun, but it has changed... i suppose that happens with any place, and most people, but what happens when the different directions take them apart?
anyway, i need sleep.. i have school tomorrow :)
