Wow, its been so long since I have written on here!! A testament to my schedule. This semester has been my hardest one yet, and not because of the workload necessarily, but motivation is lower than low. Im just plum burnt out! But by now, everyone knows that I am going to Africa!!! I am so excited, I always wanted to travel around and play Mother Theresa, and now I will finally get a taste. Its so overwhelming, but i know it will be one of the greatest experiences of my life.
So that has been a huge time taker-upper, preparing to leave the country for a long time, and MT even longer. I will definitely be coming back here, but not till May, and that just seems like a lifetime away.
But the greatest reason I have been busy is........FRIENDS!!! I finally told myself to get up and stop whining about not having very many friends here, and to rekindle contacts here, and in Atlanta. And its amazing what happens when you reach out to people. I used to think that with all my school work and work-work, I would not have a spare second for lots of friends, that I would lose focus, but now I realize that it makes everything else so much more bearable!! I now have more friends than I can keep up with, much less hang out with here, and its such a great comforting feeling, I finally feel like Montana is a HOME. And I will be spending Thanksgiving in a snowy cabin, surrounded by all my new lovely friends, all us stragglers here in Montana.
Its amazing what happens when you just open up your heart<3
