Back in the USA!!!

Yes, I'm back.  And even though the blog address is "sarahindijon" I will continue my blog and not change the address because that is too difficult.  Yesterday afternoon, I arrived safe and sound to the most welcoming place in the US, JFK airport.  After a relatively nice Luthfansa flight and 4 movies, I arrived in the US.  It is still a little bizarre being home.  I think I'm in shock, but it is nice to be here and catch up on my missed TV.   I'm still exhausted from the moving/traveling.  It is very difficult to move from a foreign country and I learned that it is better to try and sell your belongings earlier than a few days before you leave.  I worked until the day before I left Dijon.  Then, I left my apartment and I spent the last night in France in Paris and flew out that morning.  

On Friday, I got home.  We were called like 10 minutes after we walked in the door to be told that this super cute new car that my mom reserved for me was at the dealership and I had to go and organize those things.  I am officially picking up my new car on Tuesday and it is so weird.  I'm like a real adult!!!  Since I returned in Binghamton, I hung out with my friend Lily and went swimming.  Then I finally saw my sister yesterday evening and had a nice dinner with my family and my half-sister Josey.  I've been mostly relaxing and enjoying time here.  

Overall, it is weird and nice to be home at the same time.  I miss everyone in France but have missed people here as well.  There are so many SUVs and American flags in the US, which is weird.  It really is a different world, but it's home so I'm trying to take it in and enjoy while I can.  

Ciao for now!
