Trek for Inspiration
No, it is actually Trek for Transportation, but at the current moment, I need more inspiration. There is no internet at my apartment, so I am finding places to mooch internet for the next couple of days. So only bullet points for you:
1. No internet, hence the shortened post. Well, short for me. Sorry mom, for not calling home.
2. Two roommates: from Georgia, USA and Toronto, Canada. They are as sweet as can be, and love my kids–who can complain?
3. Turkey was canceled. And Greece as well. No time for depression, because I am still going to Hong Kong, and will have more time with my family. So–revised schedule–please connect with me if you would like to get together while I am home! May 27-August 29.
4. Cold! I am actually cold in Brazil at this moment. It is almost wintertime here. I might have to wear a sweater. Yeah going home for the summer! Some like it hot.
5. Transitions: I am leaving for the USA on Saturday morning. Transition equal adventures and hellos and hugs, but also messes and goodbyes and saying no. And my tummy is all in a jumble. You know it is bad when Rachel says no to food.
6. Visa issues. I couldn’t renew my student visa because I haven’t started classes. The college course wasn’t able to start because of lack of students, and the government won’t renew unless I have grades. So, back to the USA to try to get a new student visa, and actually further my education this time. And stresssssssssss.
7. My dad’s birthday: I will get home a li’l late, but he is turning 65 this Friday! Give him a shout out if you see him!
8. Trek for Transportation: summer goal for Rachel: raise $25,000 for a vehicle for Living Stones. This is a bit scary for me, but jump in faith, right? God has plenty of mullah. Want to join? Please? www.wribrazil.com/trek
9. Stop and breathe. I keep forgetting. And I can’t think of number 10, so all you get is 9.
