Hey everyone! I am so sorry about my inconsistent blogging. It is now week 7 of my DTS and I havn't blogged since week 2. I'll try to catch you up as much as possible.
Week 3 was an extremely difficult week for me. I got physically ill and was running a fever. I also got extremely home sick.
Typically I function a little slower than others might. It takes me longer to perform task and it takes me longer to adjust to change. Although I am considered an extravert, it takes a great effort for me to interact with a room full of people and especially a room full of strangers. I long for deep relationships and would prefer to opperate with the comfort of having a few close friends. If I'm in a familiar environment meeting some new people can be very enjoyable but I still find it draining. THere are 50 students in my DTS and 400 students at the U of N. It is because of my personality that moving to a new place and being surrounded by strangers has been an on going struggle since I have been here. I often feel like I'm on a roller coaster. I'll be having an amazing time and learning large amounts of things one day and the next I feel overcome with loneliness and my old friend self deprication will come for a visit.
You know what I find amazing?! I have the oppertunity to watch the sunset everyday. In fact I couldn't avoid seeing it if I wanted to (not that I would ever want to not watch the sunset). The amazing thing is... no sunset is ever the same. They are all gloriously different and beautiful!
Every passing week God is bringing new challenges and insights. I am growing in friendships and feeling more like myself constantly. It still doesn't feel like home but I'm glad I'm here!
