The Clock is Ticking

Several years ago, my view of the future was much different from where I stand now.

Right now I feel like I'm playing the game Capture the Flag.
I've been on the hunt, hiding in the bushes.
I spotted the bright red flag and ran up and took it.
Now I'm running through the woods waving the flag in the air.
I should be quiet so no one will catch me, but I really feel like screaming at the top of my lungs the entire time.

Catch me if you can!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now back to reality.
One paper left. ONE PAPER LEFT!!
I can get through this.

I've not moved forward with any more details about my departure. I've pretty much placed it all on hold until school is over. I am however trying to figure out if it is possible for me to go on the family trip to Canada for July 4th. Given that I am leaving on the 8th for Tonga - this is difficult to arrange. I need some down time before I leave and what better place than in the woods, on a lake, with my people. No guarantees, but I'm trying.

I also can't wait to see my sister and nephew, who will be coming into town for my graduation. I need some help celebrating. Also on the list of visitors will be my Uncle Pieter and Aunt Jeanne from Cali. It feels like it's been too long since I've seen them last. I don't think I'm going to get much sleep the month of June.

I want to thank everyone for their support and excitement about the direction my life is heading. It means so much to me.


Love you all,
Adrianne

Hey Adrianne,

I googlesearched "Tongan word for kiss" and your blog was the first listing. (It's 'uma if I recall correctly.)

Looked at your blog briefly; it's interesting, but I didn't see any recent postings. Wish the technology was around 10 years ago when I was a PCV teacher in Tatakamatonga or Mu'a on the main island.

Vava'u's a beautiful place and it can drive you crazy too. Hope you're enjoying it.

Robert
