My interpretation of how 3 months in Uganda has transformed me. Includes some of my journaling during my stay as well as other personal thoughts, reflections and just the honest truth about what goes on inside my head.

going back to Africaaaa!!!
I am seriously going to Africa. Back to Uganda. In October. October 14th to be exact. I'm putting it out there to the universe via my blog (not that anyone is reading? ha..) which means it is official. It's not Facebook official yet..that will come in time. But I have reserved flights and will be leaving Vancouver at 8:40pm on October 14th. It's going to feel like I'm going home! And even though I have finally managed to stop feeling like an alien in my own country, it's still going to be pretty amazing to leave this place again. I don't feel attached to this place anymore. There is so much to do in the mean time.. money to be made and saved, plans to be done up, business to take care of. My car, my apartment, my job. Basically I'm going to be abandoning all of my responsibilities for a time so I'll need to figure out how I'm gonna go about doing that. Hopefully in the most responsible and non-messy way possible.. lol. I've accepted the fact that in doing this I am going to most likely have a huge mess to return home to (whenever it is I return home), and that's ok. I will suffer. But in suffering there is growth and learning to be had as well. I could end up without a place to live (aka moving back into my parent's house), without a job, with accumulated debt, etc. and may have to start over from scratch. But these losses do not outweigh the benefits and joys of travel and experience and how happy I know it will make me to go back to Uganda.
The place where this whole blog started. :)
