Haiti journal

when i was in haiti i sortof kept a journal. i didn't write every day and they aren't very long, but jsut incase people wanted to read about it a little mor ein depth than the breif description i give people.

so here's the first one.

flight.

we got up at 1:30 am and left to pick up the emmets and dave. victor, becca, john, granpa, and i had slept over at the house so we didn't have to go get them fortunatly. we really didn't have that much trouble in the airport, exept for the stupid security taking my lotion because of that reatrded "no liquids" rule.

except for a little trouble in miami, we really had great flights, we ended up getting into port-au-prince a little later than normal, but i actually liked it, cause since we were traveling in the city at night, it was a much more pleasant trip. and once we got to the mission house up in daquini, the showers were working and aremede hjad dinner already for us. it was quite enjoyable.

anyways i'm really tired and i'm gonna go to bed.

going crazy

wow so its been awhile since i've blogged.

these last couple of weeks have been kinda tough. School has been crazy with trying to get ahead for Haiti, actually right now I'm supposed to be starting a term paper that's due tomorrow = P
lately I've been screwing up everything. from saying stupid things when I'm not careful to just not caring about basketball as much as i know i should. i don't know how to handle laurel and people like her. i don't know if they're arrogant or I'm just weird. idk.

the only person that i can really unload and vent to is ori, and as would be expected, she doesn't really care much about us up north anymore, shes got a life and a set of friends down there. bee and Em are awesome and if they were my age i think we could be good friends, but having bee as my drama director... i really wish my parents hadn't sent me to GCCS. its bad enough having the personality i have, but then having to learn all the social norms in 7th grade rather than 2nd kinda is making high school suck.

then I'd been praying for a good friend for awhile especially at the beginning of school, and its' weird cause Rachel and i have started hangin out a lot, but I'm not entirely sure if shes the kinda of person i really want to be influenced by. idk. its just really freakin frustrating

haha i just realized that my three best friends are Rachel; who people say is a rude, lying, gossip. Steph; who people say is shallow and manipulative. And Bee; who is 8 years my senior, married, has a kid, at totally a diff place in life than i am.

not that I'm complaining, its nice to have the friends i have, it just seems, just like everything else about me, to be a little inconsistent and different.

anyways, onto less serious subject matter... I"M LEAVING FOR HAITI ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!OMG I'm so excited like holy cow you have no idea. two weeks with no school, no basketball, no kay, not having to care about what i look like, just being me and being with people who really do love God and aren't obnoxious teenage girls. freaking best vacation in the world. I'm living for stepping off that plane in port-au-prince right now.

anyways happy new year. if ya'll want to talk, text me up yo = ]
