Conclusion

I have now been home for over a week, and the strangest thing is how normal I feel. I've spent the last week running errands, meeting up with old friends, and taking a short trip to our cabin in McCall (ending the weekend with an amazing Bronco victory over Virginia Tech tonight- HURRAY!) I've babysat, had a job interview, seen all the yearly check-up doctors, and even met with my Boise State academic advisor to figure out my schedule for graduation. All of my spare time has been dedicated to organizing my room and slowly reintroducing my things back into it, which is a trying task on its own.

So really, despite the fact that I've been gone for almost 14 months, it's still life as usual.

What matters, however, is that I am different.

I would like to sincerely thank those of you who have taken time (and occasionally quite a bit of time) out of your lives to keep updated on mine and read babbling post after babbling post. It's a comfort to know that there are those in the world who are rooting me on, and who are there to support me in times of need.

I did start a book blog, which you can find at juliasbookblog.wordpress.com. I've been so busy this past week that I have only just picked up a book for the first time since leaving Italy.

Again, thank you for your time and support.

Alles Liebe,

~Julia~
