Since completing my assignments in Africa, and being home in Anchorage, Alaska for the last few days, I have been re-connecting with just a few friends, attempting to re-establish adequate sleeping hours (there is a 13 hour difference in Africa, and I am finding this process difficult!) and working on my school work that is soon due for the completion of the 18 credit summer semester I am doing through Alaska Pacific University.
Naturally, as to be expected, there is the re-adjustment period that I am walking through after returning from a foriegn third-world country back to America. I do not find this to be too difficult at the moment, but I am aware that I am not spending a lot of time in deep conversation, or even writing about these things at this time. I am however, waking up each morning with the awareness that 'perhaps' something could happen today that may trigger a memory of a time in Africa which may provoke challenging feelings to work through. With this in mind, each day continues to be an adventure, despite being back. America presents itself to me with whole new set of experiences, adventures, situations, circumstances, issues...you know, this thing called LIVING!
