It Just Keeps Getting Better! (I'm Lying)
“Aliya…you’re homesick”
I am not homesick. I just miss seeing my mom everyday and my best friend being a 15 minute drive away. I just miss having the windows rolled down, obscenely screaming song lyrics after a 2 AM Taco Bell run. I’m not homesick…I just miss everything about being home.
Fine. I’m homesick.
I feel stupid just saying that. Adults don’t get homesick. They’re adaptable. Flexible. Adults don’t miss the best summer they’ve ever had or talking with their mom for hours at the kitchen table every night.
The Disappointing, the Unexpected, and the Surprising
Since arriving to Dublin 3 weeks ago—phew, times flies—I think so much has already happened, it feels like I’ve been here for an eternity. I’ve learned enough to get around comfortably, learned how to manage my time—more or less, I won’t tell—and found a sense of home. Two weeks of classes have ended at this point and there was a trip to Northern Ireland, so I imagined this would be a good time to write about things that have been disappointing, unexpected, and surprising.
The disappointing part.
Mourning a Monarch
All summer long, my family wondered if it would happen while I was here. It would be so interesting, so curious to see what a country does when their monarch dies.
It was our third day in London. The BBC had reported early in the day that her family was coming to meet her in Scotland. All day, between orientation meetings and during trips on the tube, we theorized what would happen. It would be crazy, we said. The ruling monarch hasn’t died since the 50’s, so wouldn’t it be insane if we were here when it happened again?
My First Impression of Amsterdam: A City Easy on the Eyes
Bikes on bikes on bikes. An organized mountain range of bicycles, from the shiny and new to the chained and rusted, piled beside the train station. Rental bikes with blue front wheels and slightly worn bikes of the locals lined obediently in front of the shops. Little blue bicycle is led away from its post by its little owner. A woman pedals effortlessly to work, carrying two children and dog along in a big black bucket attached to the front of her heavy duty bicycle.
