Bitter Sweet

Inner Journey

Monday, our free day. Also our last full day In New Orleans. We just got unpacked. We just figured out our way around. We just found our favorite spots. We just formed our friendships. Now It is our last day. I spent my day with some of my favorite people from this trip. Each of us are at agreement that we do miss those we left home, but are so grateful for the opportunity to not only explore New Orleans, but to do it together. I am tearing up as I realize the trip is near it's end. I have loved getting to know everyone and stepping out of my comfort zone, and going on a trip where I knew no one coming in, and now I will be leaving with some of the most unique friendships I have ever had. We spent our final day in the Big Easy, checking things off of our to do list. Shopping, touring the garden district, walking around the square, French market, and our grand finale a fancy dinner. 

It is crazy how fast you can become attached to something, or even someone. My roommate and I have formed a bond that I will forever be thankful for. I couldn't have done this trip without her. I think that both share so much in common, and yet have differences that compliment one another. It has been so nice to have my constant group of five to share this trip with. (Amy, Robert, Anna, Emma, and I)

Monday made me appreciate the opportunity Methodist College presented me with. I would have never gotten to know these great people the way I do now without this trip. Walking around yesterday to all of the different shops, not having any really set plans made me realize that these girls are my real friends who I hope to continue a fun and true friendship with. I am thankful for this Monday, which is rare for me. I hate Monday's! This one was bitter sweet because I was able to spend it in one of my favorite cities, with my new friends. What a great start New Orleans gave to us!
