Back to civilization.

After three months of being back in Texas, I finally made it back to civilization and internet in College Station.

Since I got home, it seems as if I never even left; I thought the transition would be more difficult coming back. When I think back on the spring semester, I am surprised by how much I miss despite how ready I was to be back home. And now that I'm back in the Texas heat, I regret ever saying that Germany was too cold.

Overall, this was a great experience. I learned a lot and gained skills that will be useful to me as I start my journey through veterinary school. I am grateful that this program allowed me to take classes to keep up with my degree. It did make traveling more difficult at times, but it was worth it.

I definitely want to go back and see places that I had to pass on and go back to some of my favorite locations. This trip has definitely changed how I view Europe. Even though we don't agree on everything, I have a new appreciation for it.
