Well, 1 week from today and I will be on my way home!!! It is actually kind of surreal. I feel like I have been gone forever. I don't know how I will feel to be back in US.
What am I excited for?
Hmmm. Well, obviously to see my family and friends.... but mostly to eat food I like. I would like to take a nice hot shower too. And drive!! I miss driving myself around.
When I arrive, I think I would like to eat at Taco Bell actually. A hardshell, 2-taco kids meal with pintos and cheese. haah. Seriously. However, I have lost quite a bit of weight since being here. Not because I was sick, or not eating... but because I drink a lot of water, walk a lot and I don't snack on stuff and eat when I'm not hungry. That is definately the key. So... when I get home, I will have to follow that trend. I like being smaller, I just don't have any clothes that fit now. :) hehe. Surely, it is healthier for me. I am thinking of joining WW again when I get home just to stay in check. I can't ever get that big again. It wasn't good.
I can't wait to get back to school. I actually miss being there. I miss having a set schedule and keeping busy. Going back to work.... hmmm, I guess I am excited for that too. Many people will be glad to see me back. Especially since they think I am coming back in January!!
What will I miss?
I will definately miss the people in my house. Maa, Mr.Moses, Celestine, Bisong, and Christy. I will dearly miss Annabelle!!! It is fun being in a different place, seeing new things and meeting lots of people. I will miss the kids in the village too. Mostly, just how life is here. I have gotten a bit used to it now, so I will definately miss it.
Started packing...
I have already started packing. I have pretty much given away all the clothes I came here with. They are all entirely too big, and I don't want to carry them back home. Any unnecessary things, I will dash them as well. I pray this time at the airport that my bags are under limit. I don't want to pay $150 USD again!!! I usually have to pack and re-pack at least once, in order to reorganize and shift things to make room.
