Day 17- January 12, 2011

Well, we got to the airport in Charlotte where I was greeted by my parents and little sister. It felt so weird saying bye to everyone even though we were all pretty much going to Clemson for the entire semester together, but by this point everyone was ready to go their separate ways. Well, me and the fam went McDonald’s. Seriously, this was the top of the list for me. McDonald’s is my definition of American food I guess. I wouldn’t of said it before but there I was craving some good ol’ American food and receiving a flat, greasy hamburger. Well, after falling asleep on the car ride back to Clemson like a champ, and apparently talking in my sleep the entire way as well, we arrived at the Clemson exit off of 85 where I was meeting up with my roommates to pick me up. Well, I was surprised with two of my roommates and 5 girls in this rando car. They had a sign and candy for me… I’ll take that any day. Well, you see there was one problem awaiting me after this exchange… When I left for Kenya, I left my keys and phone and all that stuff back in Clemson. Well, I left them at Wyatt, where the guys slept the night before we left… right? When we finally got through the snow and ice that was awaiting me and to Wyatt, I searched everywhere and couldn’t find them at all! This meant that I couldn’t get into my car, which meant that I couldn’t get my phone and read 1,000’s of messages (slight exaggeration) but more importantly, it meant that I didn’t have my keys to unlock my room. You see, at Hart’s Cove you have the capabilities to deadbolt lock your apt and you own room. I had never locked my room but right before I left for Kenya I decided that this would be the first time… AHHHH! So the first night back to normal life, I didn’t have: my car, my phone, my room, my computer, my shower, my bed, my clothes…
