I'm going to really miss my new friends at work. The college bound are already leaving. I will miss their smiling faces and sincere personalities!
My room at the new house is coming together. Too bad there isn't any space for my dresser... ooo It's going to be nice - contrary to my previous expectations.
i'm so anxious - about meeting my host family and living with them. Finding a groove within a family that is foriegn was difficult for me in Germany. Considering I know a lot more German than I do Japanese, i'm even more on edge. But I have grown this summer - in Gazelle like leaps and bounds. This semester will be different. It will be good. No worries. No fears. I can do this. Too late to turn back now!
You know - the peace corp is sounding better and better. I keep telling myself that I want to escape stereotypes, western convictions, and expectations - death, violence, and opulence. But really, I've never really experienced any of that so how can I really know what I'm talking about? Solution - seek it out. I need to break my back (and perhaps my soul) for someone else or something else greater than myself. What better way than to take risks in helping others? = peace corp.
Who knows what the future will bring? That's one reason why I wake up every morning. Curiosity. : )
