The Texans left earlier than the Californians so we were allowed to wake up later, but my roommates and I wanted to say a goodbye to them one last time. This may sound strange but the last day was my favorite of the trip. It just gives me confidence to know that i had actually completed experience and this chapter of my life will positively influence the rest. After giving our heartfelt goodbyes we returned to our rooms and waited until it was time to go.

     Soon it was off to the airport on the plane and right on home to San Jose. The plane ride was silent and long, but i didn't care. The only human interaction i needed was satisfied by the pillow and the personal entertainment screen. I was coming home!
