The Beginning of the End

First, I have an announcement. THE SUN AS BEEN OUT FOR TWO GLORIOUS DAYS IN A ROW!!!

Second, the end of my time here is Poland has truly begun. Today alone I have said see you later to over 10 people that I may or may not ever see again. This coming week is my last full and normal week of classes. And I need to tell you something: I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to come home. With each passing day I realize that this is going to be a messy process, both making my peace here in Poland and then again becoming comfortable again in America.

This is what I know I need:
-To be actively working on crossing things off my "Before America" list

-A charged camera battery to capture precious moments.

-Patience. For myself to let myself feel and embrace each emotion and each moment. And patience from my people (European and American) to let me find my words.

This is the beginning of the end.

Peace,
Colleen
