ATL

What a crazy past few days. Monday afternoon I flew out from Asheville to Tampa, then was supposed to connect to Atlanta. But the Lord had a diferent plan in mind. He decided to make it thunderstorm for hours in Atlanta. And I was delayed for an hour. No biggie, just one hour. But soon enough we were delayed another hour, and another, it kept raining. In the meantime of the delays I made friends with a Puerto Rican woman who was also flying out, but at seperate times. Would would watch each others bags when we needed to use the bathroom, or get food. She bought a sandwich and gave me half. this woman was so sweet and comforting to me when I was freaking out. I knew I needed to get there that night, and hoped I would get to the shuttle in time. Not till 8:00 was Atlanta allowing planes to start and fly in. Thankfully a friend was able to pick me up from the airport. Once getting to the hotel I found my 3 roommates (not knowing who they are) still awake. They spent their summer in Greece! How cool is that??! maybe next year I'll do another trip, hopefully somewhere overseas...Don't panic Mom! haha

The next day (first day of debreifing) waking up and getting breakfast down in the lobby. We had to walk to the MTW offices from the hotel. The day was filled with many meetings, and the steps to dealing with culture shock. I didn't feel as if I have much of a culture shock compared to others, but in a way I did. My debrief was with 2 woman in the office and went well. It was nice to just talk about it and being asked questions about my experience. I hope that by the time I get home I will be able to share the highlights of my trip. And to figure out what those experiences were.

Tomorrow is the last day for debriefing, and MTW is giving us a brunch in the afternoon where our parents or whom ever are getting us (those not flying out)for brunch. My mom and Kaylee hope to be here about mid afternoon and get back on the road. I'm excited for the drive to Orlando and our time there to relax and sleep! Getting ready for another meeting/ talk at debriefing. Bye!
