New Page

Have you ever had one of those moments where you stop and look around, only to realize where you are and aren't really sure how you got there. Well these moments are nice when going on walks, even a little scary when driving a car, but having one in life... that's a crazy time. I'm sitting in my room in my cabin at Camp Michindoh, and I was just hit with that what is going on moment. I just realized this is my bedroom for the next 3 months. I have 2 roommates who I kinda know one and have just said hello to the other, and the 3 of us get to share our poorly air conditioned, one shower, and no tv of an apartment for the next 3 months. All while working from 7-9 every day with 5th graders.
Now, I'm really excited about thus job, after all I have one, when some of my friends who have finished their degrees are still looking. And I was here last semester working with mostly the same people. But the moment of unknown just hit me. What am I doing here, and how did I get here. I was just in Kentucky a week ago, and a week before that was 11 weeks in West Virginia. Coming up in December is a possible trip to India, and then back to HU maybe. Then what? Back here to work, or go into a missions field. My good friend Lisa has been in Africa for over a year now, and been at the same place, away from friends, and only having a small window of seeing friends. I can pick up my phone and call someone in Washington, although I haven't yet, and need to. But its just that easy for me. Life is easy for me. I am just going with the flow. My 2 biggest problems right now are my school bills,, and how I need to call my summer boss and give her a ladies phone number and let her know I'm still working on putting the work cites together for the trip in September.
Well that's my rant for the time being. I workat camp michindoh, doing outdoor education. They have a website if you want to look at it feel free. We should be getting a new picture soon, and maybe I'll be in it this time, not to mention I still need to go down the water slide :)
