I'm back, and a little bit more salty than when I left. Let me tell ya, I've grown a lot over this summer; something like eight major cities in three months can make you grow up pretty quickly. I've learned so much about what it means to be a traveler, and how life is different when you're on the go. This cruise was also a huge affirmation that I'm doing the right thing for myself. A year ago, I was a little unsure, but now I've never been more sure of anything in my life. This is what I want to do more than anything else right now.
Coming back to school after such a short break wasn't the easiest. The parent's sold the house and I'm happy for them, but that meant floating around for a little while before we had a chance to get into where we live now. I also went to Montreal with my bro to celebrate his bachelor party. (That's another post in itself.) The thirteen days I had were great at home, albeit not as restful as I would have really liked, but hey. I was home and that's what is important.
Working RPT and being apart of the Training Staff was pretty unique too. I do plan on talking more about this at some point, but there is really a lot to talk about when it comes to this. From the whole 'being put in a position of responsibility and therefore some power.' Lets just say some people responded differently than other with this situation, but I digress.
Classes have been going pretty well so far. I've being doing pretty well in the test/quizzes but I still need to bear down. I'm not feeling so great for one of my classes, but I'm getting the help that I need to do better. I do enjoy being a true deckie now; finally done with all that engineering stuff that i had to suffer through to get to this point. I will say that I did enjoy some of it on cruise, but thank God I'm done with it.
I'll write more soon, this was just a quick blurb to get back into it. I'll also post my cruise journal at some point, all fifty-some-odd pages of it. Yeah, I wrote a lot on cruise...
