Time does fly by

I haven't written a blog since being in Honduras...and I actually was not planing to. But my good friend Tiffany Blaser who is far away in Hawaii taskfoce working told me I needed to keep it up...So this is my attempt...

Honestly I don't feel like I have anything to write that would interest anyone. I do miss that. When I was in Honduras I felt like a had a purpose and like I was doing something fun and exciting that people would actually want to read. Now I feel like I am back to the mundane life of a college student.

I have two midterms tomorrow that I am far less prepared for than I would like to be. But its close to midnight and I have given up on studying for the night. Its been an emotional day...I have cried alot. Sometimes its good to just cry.

I guess school just feels like a waist of time. What is the point of it again? I just don't have much motivation lately.

There are so many things that I miss about Honduras

1. The slow pace of life
2. Dead lines not really being dead lines
3. Tuesday being coffee day with Emily
3. Dinners with all the SM's
4. Taking a walk to central park
5. Political, God, Life talks with Mark
6. Looking out my window and seeing donkeys eating the grass
7. My students running at me when I walk in the class to give me a hug
8. Kiss on the check to say goodbye
9. Soccer
10. Listening to the rain poor down
11. The warmth
12. Watching 24 with Karen
13. The food
14. Smelly uniform shirts (at least I knew what I would wear everyday)
15. Drying my clothes on the line
16. Saturday movie nights
17. Sunday market runs
18. Cooking for 8 (how do you cook for just 1? It just seems weird and there are always left overs!)
19. Reading for fun
20. Our "family"

I have really been unorganized since being back. I can not keep up my day planer for the life of me. I am always in a rush to get stuff done. I even forgot I had a test one day! Its just different being back...I guess I am still facing some of the reentry and culture shock stuff. I thought I would be good to go by now...but not quite yet...I'm working on it...

There are things that I love about being back too though...don't worry...but its getting late...so maybe I'll make that my next blog.

Dude...i love you! and also. Cooking for 1 is probably the worst thing in the world. I hate it. I am praying for you!
