Getting Home

(The Cadet Experience, Class of 2014) Permanent link All Posts

This month flew by. Now I am just counting down until Christmas break. I am tired of the constant work…papers, tests and projects and now it is only two weeks until finals and home! I had an interesting start to Thanksgiving break…I had a flight at six and was supposed to get on a 4 a.m. bus to the Hartford airport, but unfortunately the bus never showed and there were 30 of us waiting outside in the rain for half an hour. When we called the bus company they said that there had been no buses scheduled! Finally a senior drove the six of us on the earliest flight to the airport and everyone else had to take taxis. We made it there at boarding time and I was so thankful to make it on the plane and just get home.

I got back from Thanksgiving leave on Sunday and I had such a nice time visiting my grandparents and sister. I haven’t seen my sister in half a year and it was so cool to hear about what she’s been doing since graduating high school. I’m really jealous she has been training to become a fire fighter with Americorps. We had fun being home and driving by our old high school and seeing old friends. It feels like forever ago that I was in high school and living at home.

More about Megan.
