I came under the realization after training camp that I feign confidence while seeking affirmation. I so want to be told that I am doing the right thing (because I am so often unsure if I am or not), that I keep throwing it out there until someone agrees with it. But is it not much more effective to just be honest and ask for advice if I am uncertain? This is something I hope to work on while I am on the field. Also perhaps, I need to work on being more confident in my decisions in the first place. BUT, such is life.
I am packing everything up over the next couple days, and saying my awkward goodbyes to everyone here in the mountains. I have arranged to visit family for a few days, and then I am off to Haiti probably the 8th or 9th of Sept. Depending on the time I have over the next few days, I may not write again until Haiti. But then again, I may. {Uncertain much? :-) Exceedingly and Always.}
Anyway, my amazing mother has offered to drive the 9.5 hrs here to pick me up since my car is in pieces. She is coming on Saturday. That is 3 days away! It is weird how fast time flies. I feel like I just moved here. And imagine what a month will feel like as it passes in Haiti, and Bolivia, and Thailand. Next thing you know, I will be back in America in GradSchool. SLOW DOWN LIFE!
