I should finish what I've started
That's right, I've started this blog and now I should finish it. Many of you may be thinking, 'yeah, she's coming home on Tuesday but I just can't wait to hear about the rest. I mean it's like we get to the part where she goes to Haiti and then, what? It just ends. I gotta know what happened!!' Well, this is for those of you who are thinking this very thought, (and I'm sure many of you are;) that I am going to finish. Okay, there did I leave off...
Okay, I was just reading over the last blog I wrote to try an get an idea of where I left off (and got my distracted by the way) and I just want to say that I'm sorry. I did not realize how many mistaked I make. I hope you were still able to get the gist (is that how you spell gist??) Anyway, I guess I was in the capital and Sonya's house. I've moved around a bit since then. Right now I'm actually at Carrie and Agape's house. They were a couple that was in my DTS but had to leave early because, well, she was pregnent for one thing, but there were some other reasons too. So it's pretty cool to see them. I've been here since Thursday and I'm going to be here until Tuesday (when I go home, remember??) However, I am a little worried about wearing out my welcome, especially because of my experience in the capital. but it's pretty cool here. They are really laid back. It's a little different then staying with Dominicans though. Also, they are fostering a little Haitian baby named Jacob. He's five months old and he is SO cute you wouldn't even believe it. He went to the beach with us yesterday. Anyway, so I don't really do much here. Oh, I should say that it's Carrie's parents house actually (carrie and Agape are just living here for now) They are missionaries here. They were in Haiti before, so they all know creole and if they want to say something and don't want me to hear it, they just talk in creole.
Anyway, so I'm excited to come home. I wasn't really before, during the DTS, but I am now. I think it's just staying at all these different places and meeting all these different people. I mean, it's cool, I liked it. but I miss MY people and MY house and where things are comfortable to ME and MY culture. I miss being able to go to the fidge at 3 in the morning to get something to eat or sleeping in my own bed. At the DTS, it was different. That became my home and my bed, but now, I'm just borrowing them from people THAT ARE IN THEIR OWN HOMES WITH THEIR OWN BEDS! wow. guess I'm just kind of in a weird moment. Don't get my wrong, I LOVED my time here and is all reality, I will probably be back in the not so distant future, but I just think I did this whole "after DTS" part wrong. It's hard to have to say good bye 15,000 different times and it's hard to have plans change and to not really be sure where your going to sleep that night. Some of it was my fault, yes, but not all of it. Whoa, anyway, I am getting waayyy off subject I need to organize this. Okay, lets finish talking about Haiti first, shall we?
Okay, I lied, I said everything that I wanted to say on here about Haiti. I was going to write it down just so I could remember it too, but then I remembered that I already wrote it in a journal. So, if you want to hear anything else about my Haiti trip. Just ask. That also reminds me, I never said what happened with the second trip I was supposed to take to Haiti, because really, I should be in Haiti right now. Well, for one thing, I kind of ran out of money (I even went from my tax return which I still feel a little sick about) I feel a bit like the prodical (sp??) returning home, except not exactly. Public transportation is what kill me here. It's not cheap. Well, okay, I'm kind of tired of typing this and I think we are going to leave soon, so I will finish up later. Bye for now.
I just want to finish so thus, it is finish.
