toodles and noodles

As a procastinator life is hard when you dont have a boss. These days I do not have one overwhelming thing that takes up my days, but i do have a list of little things that need to get done before I leave. It is amazing to me how those little things can not enter my brain untill the very end of the day when Im laying in bed and thinknig of how I did squat and did not do anything I had planned. If I actually get to Albania I think that will be a pretty huge ordeal, because of all the silly things I keep forgetting to do. you know like get insurance, and shots, oh yeah a plane ticket. yeah I know nothing big. But I have been doing a lot of walking (I love to walk) and a lot of reading, and that pretty much seems to be taking up my day. But in the last two weeks I have learned how to make a apple pie and peach cobbler from scratch so at least I have one accomplishment to feel proud about right? Im thankful for these peaceful moments but im ready to get back into the world.

I would like a hefty bowl of Lushjne today!

So its official, and its officially awesome that I am going to Lushjne , Albania at the end of October. Woo hooo! A few posts back I spoke of my confusion if it was right or not.

I just felt it all around me, that there didn't need to be some big sign of "Yes I should go" from above. Just all the pieces of my life fell in front of me and I saw that this was the very mission opportunity I had prayed so hard for so many years. This was it. The last week I have been waiting for details, to get started on raising money and just preparing. I came into check my e-mail this afternoon after an amazing long walk, and there it was totally unexpected (like always) all of the details I was hoping for.

Times a wastin'

So I feel like my life in the last week in a half is summed up in a good ole country song. Without all the cheating, lying, redneck, big hair kind of way. But in the just sittin back watching the world go by kind of way. hmmm. Ever since I started real life and real working, (you know life outside of school) I have not had a summer. I have not had that time to just stop and sit, and there be no schedule at all. Well I have now had that time. Partly I have enjoyed the silence, and slow pace but for the most part I would much rather be up and going engrossed in everything but myself. I have been doing a lot of reasearch on diffrent personalities- I being a ENFP which stands for Extrovert iNtuitive Feeler Perciever. Which with out crazy big words means : I like hanging out with my peeps, and I always talk off the fly. (hmm maybe even those terms needs need explanation from hip - hop talk?) ha ha But I was researching other people who had my common personality type and was a little shocked...
