an adventure

I bought bus tickets to go home a while back, I didn't tell my family about it, no one knew.
I wanted it to be a surprise, I wanted to do something 'grown up' and brave. And that's exactly what I did.
There was definitely no way I was going to stay in Grahamstown this entire time!
the space between buying the ticket and the actual departure was terribly long, I tried studying, watched a couple of movies and really just took time to reflect. the day to leave couldn't have come sooner,
So I packed a bag, filled with books and clothes, but the fish under the bed, turned of the lights, closed the curtains, threw on my Rhodes hoodie, caught a lift with a friend up to Kimberley hall, sat in the rain and mist, and waited.... I was so excited to see my family... just a day before my sister smsed me telling me how much she wishes I was there:)
So the plans ran through my head on how I'm going to surprise everyone, what exactly do I do when the bus actually drops me in PE?
ya, I was nervous! I have never done anything like it!
anyway, my mom called while I was waiting, and I couldn't hold it in, so I told her! she was ecstatic, and quite greatly there was no need for me to worry about what to do when I got there...
My bus was an hour and a half late.
I was so happy to be in my moms arms again
I cried when I saw my sister
I loved my dads surprised face
