Frustrations..

So, honestly, the day started a little rough. I almost started crying in my architecture course because I barely knew what was going on. I have successfully reached the stage where everything is slightly more frustrating. You start to get so tired of feeling like youre missing part of the picture.. sometimes the entire picture.. and to be able to say something easily would make my world a little brighter. BUT something that stuck in my mind during orientation was when they said you will all reach this point at some time or another BUUTT how long you stay there and how you deal with it is completely up to YOU. ahh, i know i know. So, I am going to try and handle this positively and realize the frustration can be a motivation to study and push myself to continue to live outside of my comfort zone (as opposed to only staying in a little group with my american friends.) Also, I know as I grow here and learn more about myself I will grow in my relationship with God.

My day started rough, but it has come to a nice end because I was able to vent a little to lindso on facebook chat (thanks again) and then Alphonse made me dinner. It was almost like a light at the end of the tunnel because usually I can barely understand him because he kind of mumbles and stuff, but tonight we chatted the entire time we ate dinner! My french was nowhere near perfect, but it was still a nice conversation :)

Hey Lindso is right - you need to put up some pics. I know that you are taking tons of them and already have divided your memory book into months and have great ideas on how you are going to do your visual journal :)
Love you and know that "with God all things are possible!" ... even fluent French :)

Boo, Let me begin by telling you just how proud Daddy and I are of YOU! We have taught you many things in your lifetime but know that you continually teach us as well. You are an awesome person. You have a very quick mind, an adventurous spirit and a heart for God. That is a marvelous way to be. I am not surprised that you are frustrated-but as you so aptly stated the answer to you frustration is in YOUR hands and how and what you choose to do aout it. I have all faith that you will seek God at this time and move forward accordingly. Love you so much. Momn
