Hello everyone,
Sorry that I have seriously fallen off the wagon. I will try to post more often, but perhaps in smaller and more manageable blurbs.
Today is Thanksgiving for all of you people in the States, and I am so jealous! One thing I miss so badly about home is the variety of food, and thinking about all the food on tables and wonderful family and friends surrounding it is making me more homesick.
I have been having some health issues recently, which has been scary. I went to the hospital here and got an MRI because I was having problems with my vision and bad headaches, and it turns out that there was a buildup of pressure in my brain. However, everything else was normal, and I got some super cool pictures of my brain! How often do you get to see that? I have taken the prescribed medications and things are getting better, but they're not 100% yet. Still waiting with crossed fingers.
In other news, my dad and Troy will be here in ONE WEEK. I am nervous and excited, because I have been looking forward to this for months and months, and now it is actually happening.
I have a lot of strong feelings about everything that is happening now, though, because I can't wait to see my boys, but that also means that the program is coming to an end, and I will have to leave my host family and friends. I am also nervous about re-entry into American culture, because things here are just so drastically different than anything at home, and things like automatically hot water from the tap and fitted sheets will be insane.
Okay, I am off now! I have just finished most of my final papers and such, so this weekend I am planning on doing present shopping. We'll see how it goes!
Love,
Rose
