Since I’ve been home the question I am always asked first
is something along the lines of “did you just love it!?” Well this question is
hard to answer quickly in passing.
When I met up with Jennifer Hicks at the 4th
of July parade and met her family they also asked this question and to my
friends I just had been saying “It was a great learning experience.” I could
totally dodge the question and everyone would just move on and ask what I saw,
or what I ate, or what the weirdest thing was; those are easy questions to
answer. Well when they asked the question I was thinking of a polite way to
answer this question since I could tell she had told her family about my time
in Greece and just as I was about to say
something she jumped in and said “You know it’s hard to live in Greece.” I was so happy to not have to think of a nice
way to say living in Greece was not the funnest thing I’ve ever done.
Don’t get me wrong I had fun times there and I learned a
lot and did a lot of really awesome and cool things but there’s not much to do
if you don’t drink. Like in Mapleton and Cedar City my friends and I go to the
park or play ultimate Frisbee or go long boarding or have a game night but it
seemed like all anyone wanted to do in Greece was go out to this strip of bars
and drink and party all night. It made me realize how good of friends I have
and how nice it is to live in Utah.
