Last Week Away From Home

In 2 more sleeps I will be in Calgary! I am looking forward to this!
This past few days in Akron have been good. Exchanging stories with other SALTers. Going for walks and runs (and feeling completely safe doing so). Spending some last moments with my dearly loved friends, that I have grown to love over the past year (Lydia and Nikki).  Eating really good meals. Great conversations.
It's been great to be here and to reflect a little more, though because our Country Reps are so fantastic and on the ball we have been doing this debrief thing for 2 weeks now. And I wonder if I am done talking about my feelings for a little while. I know there is still so much I need to process and think through, but I am okay with doing that in my own time, as well.
Tomorrow being our last day we are doing a Cultural Gala, where we all dress in our traditional dress that we acquired over the year and then there are a few who will be doing a bit of a talent show. (Just incase you are wondering, no I am not doing anything. I always get dragged into these things and never understand how...but not this time!)
There have been a few moments where I am confused where I am. Especially when it come to traffic. Why are we driving on the wrong side of the road? Or expecting a vehicle to drive and not stop for me at a corner, while I am waiting to cross the road.  Also I was sitting in a room where there were a bunch of toys, we had been in the room for a while talking and discussing some questions. But then I looked around the room and saw a Little Tykes toy and was surprised that it was there...in South Africa...oh wait not, I am not in South Africa anymore.
It is also weird having internet and not worrying about how much or little I use, because it is not limited! I find myself board on Facebook because I check it so often, where I rarely check it. I also adjusting to the time. I will go on to Facebook and see that Tyla is online at an hour she should not be and then I have to remember I am no longer 8 hours away only 2!
Heading home I will be busy. But it will be good. Keep me distracted! If you are spending time with my while I am home in the next little while know if you see me crying I am probably okay, I am just thinking and processing things.
Remember to keep checking up on my adventures here! Just because I am home doesn't mean the adventures stop!
Until next time...SEE YOU IN CALGARY!!! (or SASKATOON ON THURSDAY!!!) Woot!
