Pedro, ‘12

Today is my last day in Lima and I decided to post, especially since I hadn’t done it in a really long time.

The truth is that I’ve been wanting to go back to Richmond for a while now, not because I wasn’t having a good time here, but just because Richmond is my home now. I never thought I would say it, but I’m now used to living there. And it’s not only that, I actually like it. I’m really happy to go to UR and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Even though my first semester was a really tough one and I thought bout coming back to Peru or even transferring to another school in the US, I know now that UR is the right place for me. Everything about it feels right, and things have been going my way lately (that always helps, haha.)

Even though classes don’t start until the 24th, I have to arrive on the 10th because I got the job as an RA and we have two weeks of training before the start of the Fall semester. I’m going to be living in one of the best dorms at UR (Lakeview) with a room just for myself. I got into all the classes that I wanted to take (I even have class with my girlfriend) and I’m feeling ready for the Soccer Club tryouts. All my close friends are going to be living in Lakeview too, so I’m sure it’s going to be a great semester.

I’m actually so ready and excited to go back, that I started getting my suitcases ready on Thursday. I gotta be at the airport in 8 hours, but I’m done packing. It’s the first time that I’ve done this, but it does feel good. Procrastination sucks, I would be sooo stressed right now if I hadn’t packed already. But I’m not. I’m just killing time, waiting till it’s 9pm so I can get on my way to the airport.

I guess that’s another reason why I’m posting. It helps kill time, haha. I’ll probably post again when I get to Atlanta, since I have to wait 5 hours for my connecting flight. That’s a lot of time to kill…
