ho ho ho and a very merry christmas!

Well, first term is "finally" over. I use that word hesitantly, because finally makes it sound as though I've been awaiting it eagerly (which in a sense I guess I have because I'm in such need of a break) but it's come around so fast. But so slow all at once. As in it feels like we've been there ages. You probably won't understand that garbage unless you're at KBC or you've done it before, so don't worry if it doesn't seem to make sense!

It's a weird sensation being home. It feels like I've been plucked from my normal life and shoved back into my old life... though it's not my old life anymore because everything's changed. That's the worst kind of change too. Where everything is so familiar, yet so different at the same time. I've realised it's not just me that's changed, everyone else's lives have changed and moved on too. They didn't stop and preserve their old state just because I moved away. And that scares me to be honest. Hopefully I'll get used to it though. However, I doubt that 2 weeks is really enough for that!

Before I got back, I wasn't really overly excited about coming home; just about having an actual break. Which is also strange. Not sure whether that was due to the overwhelming experience of coming back at reading week or not, but it's nice being back now that I'm here!

I know that I've changed lots since moving away, and I know it's for the better, and that everyday down there I'm only getting stronger in my walk with God (even if it often means I feel really weak!), I just hope everyone else up here sees it like that too. If anyone from KBC reads this, I know it's nice having a break from each other, but I miss you all and look forward to hearing of your many adventures when our BIG family is back together!

And to everyone, have yourself a merry little christmas :)

Love.
