Today is the last day.

I head home tomorrow. Fly out of Saigon at 7 am bound for the states. I can't believe how awful I have been at keeping up with this thing. My apologies. I guess that just means I have to tell stories in person...

I have finished my project for the Center. Hallelujah! It is now being passed around to "experts" who will give it the once over and let me know if I made any major mistakes. I really really hope not, as that goes without saying.

I honestly can't believe I am leaving tomorrow. I do feel like I have been here for a long time... it's amazing how much you can learn and how much you can never learn in such a short time. I will miss quite a few things about this place, namely the people and the street food, which I never did write about.... but I also feel like I could come back and spend a lot more time in the community where I have been living. They are incredible people and there is so much more to know and see and learn.

But for now, it's time to go home. I am ready and excited. After a few days of vacation with my man in Colorado I'll return to LR where I then have to start getting ready to start class at UAMS...

So, I'll just go ahead and say this is most likely the end of this blog. It has been a blast, though not very fruitful. I appreciate anyone who took the time to read it... hunt me down for all the real stories...
