I woke up this morning with the feeling of stress! I think it's all starting to hit me. I woke up to a room that was a disaster and feeling like I just need a day to clean and pack up what is staying here. I still have to read and take my pre-departure exam that is due sooner than I care to admit. More Kiswahili lessons wouldn't hurt either. I know I'll survive. I'm feeling this way because I'm tired. Tiredness doesn't negate the legitimate feeling though.
I'm looking forward to this weekend and the week to follow. I know it's going to be a lot, but it's part of the journey. I spoke with a good friend/mentor yesterday and she helped put a lot of this in perspective. It was an encouraging conversation that really helped me out.
If I ever do this over, the one things I would do differently is work less prior to my departure. The money is great, but there has been little self-care time. I'm hoping to make it home relatively early tonight and get some things done. Really, thought, I want to sleep. :)
