Hi Everyone! I'm sure some of you have missed the weekly updates from me, and I am sorry I have not really written in awhile. Once back in America I have had about 18 days to transition from being overseas to being back at university. During that time I have been getting over jet-lag, unpacking, doing laundry, having new adventures in the grocery store (culture shock quite a bit there - I wanted to barter when I stepped up to the cashier, but good thing my dad was there to be in charge of paying! haha), spending time with family (we spent a day around Wheaton and then out to Starved Rock park and hiking trails), laughing with my sisters, writing letters, finishing up paperwork, writing a report on Uganda, packing for college, practicing piano for my cousin's wedding, speaking at church about my trip, and much much more! The culture shock has been interesting. Getting used to a new store and pricing set up - no more doubling to see how much it is in US dollars, and no more prices in shillings so 23.00 is not 2,300 shillings! Busy in Uganda is different that busy in the US. Many many things have been different and I have been learning a lot through my time back in the States - but I miss Uganda SO So MUCH!!
This week I have been at school, all set up in my dorm room and my roommate is here early too. I am on the leadership board of the Moody Symphonic Band, so this week we have been recruiting and listening to auditions of new freshman students. This weekend is also the band retreat when we can get to know the new freshman better. Now I am off to get to know our new girls who moved on my floor and also the new brother floor - beach time! Talk soon.
