I made it safely back to Michigan yesterday, with my plane getting in 20 minutes early. US Customs agents were able to remind me of America’s well known attribute of having incredibly polite people. There were some creative maneuvers done in-between a bunch of JCMUers regarding our luggage and weight and the costs for it going over weight, which I’ll all detail later, when I am out of my persistent vegetative state known as jet lag. But I made it back, hugged my mom, drove to see for the first time our new house in Ann Arbor, made it back to Grand Rapids, stopped at Pizza Hut, came home and hugged my sister, petted some guinea pigs, opened and explored my three ginormous pieces of luggage, and then slept for about 12 hours. Today I mostly sat around doing nothing because I was too tired to move but couldn’t fall asleep no matter how I tried. More updates will come soon, and thanks for all the comments.
