ALASKA

Toronto! 

I never thought I'd say this, but I really missed this city. I know that it's only been a few days, but I am more than ready to sleep in my own bed. Plus, I really want to get my graduation straightened out so I can start applying to colleges and finally be done with high school.

Our last day in California was spent on the beach swimming and napping with a stop at an ice cream shop on our way back to the hotel. The Leafs flew back on a private plane while Steph, Carly, and I flew back by ourselves. The flight went pretty smoothly, seeing as though I was asleep for most of it. Thankfully, I got the window seat and the other two didn't talk a lot, so I was able to get a few hours of sleep in. 

Steph drove Carly and I home after we landed and took a few pictures in celebration. I opted for one awkward picture because I was groggy jet-lagged. However, Steph still managed to get me to post it on Instagram.

@adamvin: come home!

@austonmatthews: you have holes in your pants

@alaskamay: @austonmatthews I'm glad you're so observant

@sydneyesiason: cutie cutie

@stephlachancee: glad you woke up long enough to take this pic

@carlyyvalentine: ^yeah, you would be still on that plane if we hadn't woken you up

@alaskamay: @stephlachancee @carlyyvalentine sheesh, I was tired, ok?

@stephlachancee: yeah, tired from sleeping all the damn time

As soon as I got home, I went straight to my room and got right in bed. I woke up a few hours later to eat something and change my clothes, but ultimately went back to sleep. In hindsight, this probably wasn't the best plan because now it's midnight and I'm wide awake. I tried everything to help me fall asleep so I could just sleep through the night, but nothing is working. 

I tried texting Carly, but she's either ignoring me or asleep because I haven't heard back from her. Lying on my back in a lethargic heap, I contemplate going for a walk. It seems great in theory, but it's also not the safest idea I've come up with. Given Carly's lack of communication, I decide to text Steph.
