Well, I woke up early again. I realized that the time I am waking up here is the exat time we would wake up to do work down in Leon. I think that probably has something to do with it. After waking up at the same time for a week, your body probably gets used to it.
Yesterday got easier at night. I got to spend time with some of my friends that wanted to know more about my experience, and then all of the Nica people got together for Paola's birthday. It was good to see them all again, and now we have another Nica person that is over 21. After talking to them, I realized that we are all having issues dealing with coming back, but we have each other to work through it with. I never thought I would be this close with so many people so quickly. I feel like I am closer to the delegation than I am to some of my friends that I have known for 3 years. I like it though.
I think I am going to rant for a short time. I was laying in bed, trying to go back to sleep, and I thought about something. On MyQ, every little mention of anyone from QU being on a news show, or in a newspaper article gets its own announcement. However, when over 20 students go down to a developing world country and help schools down there, it is not even mentioned. But lets not get too upset, we have a freshman from the School of Communications that is going to be on "America's Prom Queen" and that made the top of the announcement list. I think its hard enough to try and tell people about our experience, when some people at the school may not even know that we send an alternative spring break trip to Nicaragua. We are trying to get our stories heard, and the people that have taken the time to read this, or ask me questions, they seem really interested. Hopefully the project Matt is working on will help with that.
I feel more like myself this morning. I think I am coming to terms with a lot of different things. There are some things I can control, and some that I can't. Now that I have that realization, its just a matter of deciding which is which. I know some that definately fit into each category, its the one's in the Grey that I will have trouble with.
Let's hope I stay myself during the day.
