Winding down

So, this is my last week in Helena and I'm starting to feel a little bit of something in my heart. Some may call it sadness others an emptiness, but I think it's more of a heavy heart. You see, as I write this I am learning more and more about this place that I am leaving and the situations, or everyday lives, that is occuring that I wish I could be a part of. I can't really explain it here, but it's a hurt for the community and the teenagers that I've been working with especially. I just think this internship is so much bigger than I ever imagined it would be. Not in the sense that I can't handle it, but in the sense that there is so much left to do.

However, I am leaving in three days. To say I am excited would be an understatement. I keep thinking about my apartment, and my bed, and my shower; all things that excite me at this point. I'm looking forward to that first Saturday morning that I can sleep in and snuggle with Sophie on the couch watching CABLE (which I haven't had here in Helena!) While I'll miss everyone, Facebook will allow us to stay in touch!!

Well, packing needs to be done. Until then.....
