Odds and Ends

Hmmmm...
I'm not sure what to blog about but I feel like I need to. Not that I feel anyone expects me to but that I need to get something out I just don't know what it is.
(Ok...so now that I've written a little bit I can tell you that I am just going to write about the average everyday things that go on in my life here. Sometimes people have this idea that being a missionary means that your life is exciting all of the time and amazing things are always happening. I'm here to tell you it's not so.)

I only have 2 weeks left of teaching. This makes me sad. I've been quite stressed out lately with everything that is going on at school but it is starting to settle down. Our talent show is this weekend. I'm looking forward to it but I'm starting to get nervous about it too. I have to dance infront of a lot of people and I'm not the most graceful person in the world. Also it is a traditional dance, they know what it should look like. Thankfully Sri Lankan people are very gracious when it comes to foreigners. We are going to pick up our costumes tonight and I am excited about that.

I've been thinking about coming home a lot lately. Now that it is getting closer I find that I am thinking about it more and more. I can't wait to go to the chiropractor...they don't have them where I am living. I also can't wait to get a deep tissue massage...man do I need one.
I've also been thinking about everyone at home and how much lives will have changed while I've been gone. Babies born, friends married, jobs changed, people moving, I'm going to have so much to catch up on. I'm also trying to prepare myself for the barrage of questions that I will have to answer over and over again. Unfortunately I know that they are going to ask are things that are not the important things for me to talk about. I'll need to tell stories but I know that people will get bored of hearing about people that they don't know and places that they have never been before.

Dont' mistake me friends I understand that you care about me and what I've been doing here...I know that without a doubt. It's not that I'm saying you don't care so please don't be offended. It will probably be hard for me to share everything that I've experienced without having explain so many things.

I'll worry about this when I get home. I guess I'm basically trying to say that I'm trying to get my head in the right place. Mental prep is important.

I can't wait to see you all and find out what you've all been up to for the last 7 months. I can't believe that I only have a month and a half left.
