| Ok. wow this week has been pretty ridiculous but I think that I'm finally got things taken care of...hopefully. It looks like the tegucigalpa airport is going to be closing down completely to large aircraft, however there is talk that the Honduran Goverment might open up a military base but that will take at least 2 months to get that up and running. I am leaving tomorrow!! and flying into the city of San Pedro Sula (about 3 hrs away) and then via either bus of car getting a ride to Tegucigalpa. Cheers. | | |
| I'm going to miss this place a lot when I leave. A lot more than I planned to as a matter of fact but I realize that it has been such a great blessing to have had the interactions with old friends and new memories that I've had while living in St.Louis this summer. I love to see how old friends have matured in new ways and how there is still somethings that will never change.
Throughout my life, especially living within my own family I have felt out of place. In school I felt like I was the odd man out, at home though I felt extremely out of place. My sister is the scholar. She has been on the president's list, the dean's list, if ever there was a special place for academic excellence , my sister has been there throughout her life. She is constantly praised for being a good student while I was un-officially criticized for my lack of studious traits. My brother is the athlete and the popular one. Not only does he play about every sport there is but he's pretty darn good at whatever sport he sets his mind to, which is most of them. He knows as many girls as he does sports for that matter. Both of them is someone my parents can be proud of and I'm not saying that there not proud of me because I know nothing can be more far from the truth.
And then there's me. I suck at sports, I mean suck at them and I've played and tried out for almost every sport there is ( not wrestling thank god) . I ( for the most part) suck at school. I am a b- / C+ student, always have , always will be. I have never won any academic award nor have I ever been applauded for winning that point that scored the game. I guess I'm still trying to find my place in this world.
So where do I fit in... I guess you can say that I haven't figured out this question yet, though I am searching although a incredibly smart person once told me that in life we find the most, when we stop looking. I'm leaving this country in 4 days, for two and a half months. I know that this is what I have to do. I look forward to the new expierences and relationships I will meet and discover. Thank-you to all who have gotten me this far and continued to believe in me. much love

| .more days till I leave for Honduras. I must say that I am extremely excited, nervous,but most importantly sure about going. Work is slow, I miss that all the people I'm use to working with during the summer, by the time everyone comes back I'll be long gone. I guess what I'm really nervous about is who I will be when I get back. I know how much the kind of expierences I will have over there have affected me already, I can't imagine what will happen over 3 months. JBU for spring semester is extremely up in the air right now and that's just the bottom line. Between my grades from last semester and my current frustrations with it and the whole money aspect, I don't know what will happen there but as the saying goes , " We'll cross that bridge when we get to it". For now I am looking to what is infront of me and going on with what I have to work with. I miss my friends from JBU, i wish I could blend the great relationships I had with some people from JBU and the ones I have back home, that would be amazing. I had a chance to meet some of sam's APU friends and that was great, the blending of 2 diff. worlds is always fun and exciting. I guess what really makes my life great right now is not the fact that I am going to Honduras, or that I even want to , but that I have the knowledge and peace of mind that I'm suppose to go to Honduras. This trip has been on my heart since Junior year in Highschool. The truth is I never came back from Honduras, my heart has been there for quite some time and I have a lot of unfinished business there you might say. Times are really tough there right now, 5 of the guys checked into rehab and 1 of them is back on the streets again. I know that the timing couldn't be more perfect. I think that the more and more I ask myself " how can someone that has messed up so bad be given a chance to serve so much" and then I remember that these guys that I'm going to be living with are in the same boat and that's the magical irony and planning of God. much love

| I'm finally back in STL and I couldn't be happier. I felt like this year was too long, too crazy. Don't get me wrong, I learned a lot this school year but no without my share of cuts and bruises. Now that I'm not a JBU, I see things in a whole different perspective. I realize that I'm simply not a fish bowl kid. I needed to get out of the whole small town , small school. small community deal for a while. The thing about JBU is that people have such a hard time coming up with stuff to do. So they do certain things to fill that void. They worry about dating relationship, omg do they focus on dating. They party. why? It's a small A town and a lot of kids convince themselves that there is really nothing else to do on the weekends but break out the alcohol. Third: They whine about being bored and try to impose a sense of excitement and need to be entertained when sometimes that's not gonna happen. Here in STL there are things to do. They key word is options. I stared work at American Eagle today. It's good to have something to do and stay busy until I leave for Honduras. It's been so good being home. I feel like things never changed. I have my best friends and we still do the same things but we've grown a lot since we saw each other. The taco bell runs and night drives are alive and well. The late night movies and insightful conversations are what make this place home. I missed this place. Sure, I miss my JBU friends a lot too, and I will only grow to miss them more as time goes on this summer not to mention next semester but I know that coming home for a while was the right choice. Things are different here, and for now, things are better.
I'm currently two weeks away from my 2.5 month internship in Honduras. I can't wait! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I know that this is what I have to do and what I want to do as well  . I'm glad I get to be home for a month, so I can see sam and joe, both are going to be going on their on trips this summer. What can I say, I grew up in STL and I pretty much love living here. | | |
| One of the greatest words of advice someone ever told me was, " there are only two constants in this life. God. and change." Words of truth. The last year and a half have been a great growing expierence, however it has been an incredibly hard one too. I realize now that certain problems, certain situations will follow you no matter where you go but on the other hand, sometimes the grass is truly greener on the other side and how can you never know if you stay grounded in one place your whole life. Throughout my life there have been very few places where I have felt like I belonged. I look around at this place and this school and the whole place and I feel out of place. It feels wrong. I know it's wrong. Don't get me wrong there are great people here, many of them I have considered my good friends but I know that it's time for me to get out of this town. I'm not coming back to JBU next semester. I will miss the people I have grown and gotten close with but again through out my life few friends have withstood the test of time. Friends will fail you. life will fail you and those who do and get back up and try again are those who you will keep in touch with , trust, and go on to have great frienships with. I know this is true, even though I am miles away from some of my greatest friends we still manage to keep in touch with eachother, encourage each other, and help one another through things. I am going back to STL. Getting an apartment, a new job, and a new car. Big changes. Necessary ones though. I will miss the people that I have met at this place. hopefully i'll be back in a semester, but life is what happens when you make plans....
