I have been tired all the time recently, but when I lay down at night, I have had a hard time falling asleep. Two nights ago, my mind was filled with excitement of potentially going to VCOM (Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine) and then, I couldn't stop thinking that I might become a Sister. I am always very torn whenever I get thinking about that. I loved spending time at the convent at Saint Mary's and on Saturday, we had lunch with the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word at their retirement center, and I was in heaven. Maybe I just like hanging out with older women who have done incredible things with their lives.

The past couple days, I have been incredibly homesick for Nicaragua. I looked at flights from Monterrey to Nicaragua today, and have been communicating as much as possible with Omar, Cole, and the 3 Saint Mary's girls who we sent to the island for the summer. I keep listening to the island music and looking at my pictures.

There is so much I can write, and I think the only way that I will want to write on this thing is if I don't edit what I write. So...it may be all over the place. I apologize in advance. I appreciate your care and support.
