Emotional....

Wow...so I was worried at how calm I was leaving the DR. I didn´t get emotional when the kids left...nor when I left my team. But that sure did change. Yesterday I broke down. I am happy to be in Nicaragua but the work is catching up to me. Im sick of living with 30 people in communal housing. Im sick of waiting to eat until everyone else has eaten...or waiting to go to be until everyone else has gone to bed. I MISS MY D.R. TEAM soooo much!
The living conditions here are much more practical. Yes, we have running water, a toilet that flushes, 3 bathrooms instead of one and a half and people who get things done quickly instead of waiting hours or even days. I love the kids...its a great group of teenagers! Life here is a lot easier than it was in the DR. However, I miss sleeping with my girls, laughing as we go to bed and as we wake up, hanging out with Dominicans and playing dominos.
Since I came here, it almost feels like that life never exsisted. For the past few days without internet as a reminder of my DR friends, I felt lost....I was mourning the life that I just left.
Thankfully, my boss needed me to stay home today to get some things done so I had time to go to the internet.
Honestly, Im ready to come home. If they didn´t need me here, I´d be on a plane to Minnesota...or Columbus to visit Meag ;) I´m counting down the days.
I miss you all! Can´t wait to see you SOOON!!!!!
