Just to clear something up, the MLK Jr. quote I posted in my last post is actually a mash-up of different quotes. Everyone loves a good REEEEEmix, right?? But I definitely don't want to misquote anyone. So here is the original MLK quote. Still has the same idea :)
"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says "Love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. ... The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." --MLK, Jr.
Anyway...Life is good here. Just wrapping up everything at work, training the new intern. Dos mas dias until Kyle is here (That means: TWO MORE DAYS!) To say that I am excited would be an understatement. But I'll say it anyway....I'm Excited!!
I am getting sad thinking about leaving my work here and my host family. But I am also VERY much looking forward to seeing family and friends again.
I am definitely ready to return to the United States of Traffic Laws and the United States of "It's rude to stare". Ha. Also, excited to "chase the summer sun" back to Indiana. It's getting cold here. 70 degrees has never felt so cold. Brrrr.
Thanks for reading along with my adventures while I've been here. I have been considering keeping a blog once I return states side...but feel like it would be rather boring after all my adventures here. We'll see :)
