hmm how did i reach this point? last weekend i went whitewater rafting and kayaking down the tana river with the 8th grade class (pics in fb btw). this upcoming week i'm giving reviews for finals, which means i'll probably get some calls from students asking for tutoring. at the same time, i gotta repaint and fix the floor of the apartment before i move out. it has to pass an inspection before they give me my deposit back. you'd think painting walls would be simple, but no...the landlord's gonna send a guy with us downtown to buy the right paint colors. it's quite the hassle. i dunno how we're gonna do it if we have school. after it's refurbished, we gotta move out, which means i need to temporarily store my stuff somewhere. i'm trying not to stress over all this, but i get the feeling it's gonna catch up to me. i just wanna relax and enjoy my time here before i head home. ::: :::

friday. may o2 2oo8

i have today off from school. i'll be heading home in about one month. am i excited? umm yea that's an understatement. many things to pray for. there are alot of last minute school stuff to get done before i head out...getting grades in, making finals, teaching last few lessons, etc. i'm also moving out of my apartment. that'll be somewhat of a hassle b/c i need to somehow get the deposit back before i leave on june3. speaking of apartments, i need to find a new place to stay for next year also. i've also been contemplating on getting a car for next year. i need to raise some money for that. we'll see. most of the people i hung out with these past 2 years are leaving after their contract ends. it's definitely gonna be a different challenge for me next school year. the big whopper of them all is my relationship with aftan. what does God have planned for us? what direction does he want us to go in? i'm constantly seeking guidance on that. so that's just a quick rundown of all the things going on in my head right now. if you remember, please keep me in your prayers. change is coming. i can feel it. ::: :::
