It's been an amazing experience being here, and I'm SO excited that he has called me back next fall! It has been a true joy teaching at Oasis, even though it's been hard missing out on the last part of my senior year with friends. I know that this is what I have been called to for now, though, and that is such a satisfying feeling.
Even though I taught my last day on Friday, I have a MOUNTAIN of grading to do before mid-term grades are due on Monday, and I also have a huge final portfolio to put together for my graduation requirement. That's what I'll be slaving over for the next few days... Then I get back on Thursday night, up early for graduation rehearsal on Friday, pack up, graduate on Saturday, wrap things up in GR, head down south for my cousin's wedding, and then.....who knows? Ha. I'm still working out the details.. No job yet, but I need to raise some finances, attend pre-field orientation for 2 weeks, watch the World Cup, do a BUNCH of paperwork for visas and such, and then make it back to Turkey by early August.
The details can get stressful when I dwell on them, but I'm reminded again and again that THIS is why I'm here. This place where need and blindness and overwhelming odds and impossible obstacles meet humble bloody hands and feet......this is where deliverance happens. Why would I ever want to be anywhere else?
