The First of the Lasts, 4/29

We’ve now had our last Global Studies, our last day of classes, and the last Taco Day. We are 8 days out of Miami! It is all going so very quickly now. People are savoring the experiences, being more social, staying up later, making more of an effort to get to know the people they haven’t spent much time with. It feels like we’re running out of time, even if the thought of going home is exciting and not unwelcome. We’re trying to prepare for reverse culture shock: will everything at home seem the same, whether we wish it to or not? What will re-entry feel like? And can I bring my cabin steward home with me?
