I can't believe I have less than a month left here! I will be so sad to leave. It's really weird to think that I won't wake up in the room I share with Abbey and go take a cold shower. Or that I won't be spending all my time with three year olds. Or that I'll be surrounded by people with white skin. I am excited to go home though. I've missed everyone a lot. I'm excited for Christmas too. I'm not sure how I feel about the cold weather and the snow...
I just finished at Madonna nursery school. It was a good day. Challenging as always, but rewarding. I had a nice conversation with aunty Baria ( it's something like that). She had thought that anyone who lived in the U.S. recieved an allowance if they were part of a family that has a stay at home mom. She was really surprised to find that the government doesn't pay me each month. It's really intersting to hear about some of the misconceptions that foreigners have about America.
Today a guy came to the school to say hello to me. I met him one time walking and he said hello and asked if I'd like to be his friend and what was I going to say-no, I don't really want to be your friend? So then he asked me where I lived and I told him I'm not at home much (like I'd tell him where I live!) and so he asked where he can find me. I figured he'd never really hunt me down, so I told him I work at Madonna school. And guess what, he tracked me down and asked for my number. These guys are really starting to bug. If he comes to see me again I'll just tell him that I'm about to go home and don't have any extra time to see people. Annoying.
I drew and coloured some pictures of animals and things that start with different letters to show the kids at Osu. Then some couple missionaries I'm working with, the Bogesses gave me some old files that I cut in half and pasted the pictures on. The teacher at Osu liked them so much that she asked if she could keep them to show the children after I go. I was so excited! It's nice to feel like you're really making a difference and one that will last.
Tomorrow I'm going to a Thanksgiving dinner at the mission home with all the couple missionaries. Should make interesting company. lol. I am staying the night at the Bogesses and then I'll work with them the next day. I'm happy I'll get to celebrate Thanksgiving.
It's going to be major culture shock when I go back.

Yes, you'll have major culture shock going back. You'll probably be annoyed by whiny spoiled kids, too many toothpaste brands and enormous supermarkets,e tc. I cried for a week when I came back from England, Mexico, Argentina, Japan.
