If that doesn't make a gal miss her dear old college town, I don't know what does. I was never expecting to be able to watch Michigan football in Honduras. That does not mean, however, that I wasn't expecting to miss it. What I didn't think was that I'd miss it this much. Football is football is football but Michigan football, Michigan, Ann Arbor, Maize and Blue, the Big House, the Go Blue cheer, the Marching Band, the drum line, the State Street/Hoover Corner madness, Hail to the Victors, after game naps, Celebration parties while it's still nice fall weather and you can stand outside...that's a whole other thing. And once I start thinking about that, I start thinking about everything else that makes college amazing. Sure it wasn't peachy all the time, but do I remember the bad times? No. I remember the ridiculous nights out, the endless laughing sessions, the hilarious inside jokes, the epic hallway night talks, Projway parties, theme parties, PARTIES, the great classes, constant buzz, the autumn leaves, inspiring professors, Charleys, la casa, the SIX, the package, 22NS, Org. Studs, being a GCG, Starbucks coffee talks, rehash sessions, the Diag, the hayden and anderson boys, the SINGLE'S FLOOR, Heidleberg karaoke, and Jimmy Johns #2 Big John.
It has come. That point in my time here that I think, WOW. I'm not in college anymore. I have a job, and I am living in a third world country until June. JUNE? That sounds so far away. And, I know that it will go by fast, and I know I'll have the time of my life. But right now, right this moment, as High School Musical is playing on my itunes and I think of belting it out with my housemates in Carly's room, I miss home, I miss Ann Arbor, I miss my friends, and I miss being able to express myself, have people understand me, not struggling to talk, and being one hundred percent happy.
This all sounds so emo. And having spoken to my fellow recent grads, I know this would be happening regardless of my location. We're not in college anymore, Toto. It had to happen sometime. And as much as I'd like to go back, I know it wouldn't be the same. It is forever a memory and one of the best I will ever have. Lucky for me, I have come out of it with some of the best friends I will ever know...my YaYas. And I do, I feel very very lucky. Come June, I will feel the same way about being in Honduras. I will not be able to believe how quickly the time past, how much I learned, and what amazing people I met. This is all a learning experience, and a hurdle I need to move past. It's hard. But no one ever said moving to Honduras would be easy. I'm okay, I'm just missing the good 'ol US of A a bit.
I love you all and miss you so much. But don't worry too much. There was bound to be one or two emo blog posts throughout my time here.
Much love and GO BLUE!

The minute you and I are both in Ann Arbor again, we are getting a Constant Buzz. One pitcher for you and one for me!
As you know I was born without the football gene. But loving the Midwest and Midwestern friends i completely understand. i am so glad you went to Michigan had made the most of your experience there. I know you'll do the same in Honduras. Love you AKM
