(From April 30)
Well. What to even say about these past few days… As I
wrote previously, I was expecting a relaxing bonding experience with my close
friends on this program. Boy was I wrong.
I don’t want to go into details, partly to protect the
privacy of those on my program, and partly because I don’t think I can handle
reliving all of the events of the last sixty or so hours, but it was, to be
blunt, the retreat from hell. The literal plague hit; there was fighting, there
was debauchery, there was betrayal… It was an episode out of some apocalyptic
horror drama movie. I thought it’d be rejuvenating, but I’m just more exhausted
and homesick and ready to be away from the majority of these individuals than
ever before.
On the bright side, I solidified the friendships that I
knew were true and really found out who my dearest friends are. I have deep
admiration for so many people on this program (not all, but many), and that’s a
dear gift.
I leave tomorrow on a plane, heading back to the States
and to home and to those whom I love most in the world. The WiFi at the hostel
of course doesn’t work (duh), so I’ll be chatting with friends and sleeping all
night with few distractions.
I can’t wait to be home.
Aubrey

Hey take a chill pill you're probably home now n had already forgotten about it.
