Well, I just want to check in. Everything is still good to go. Just counting my days until I leave to go to Kansas. Most people always ask me if I am looking forward to going home, because I am going back to California for a couple of weeks before heading to Wichita. I say, "Yeah I am looking forward to it, but as much as my next project. I got a lot of expectations the next time around. I have goals that I want to achieve over here. This time I will accomplish them. What I mean by that is I had goals for my second year here in New Windsor, but I feel like I haven't even started on them yet, which means I may not get any of them done before I leave. I did create smaller goals that I want to meet before I leave, and I will do that. But in the big picture, I didn't achieve what I set out to do. I am going to make sure that I will complete my goals to in Wichita before I finish up BVS altogether. I think its going to take going home for a bit to do that. I need to be refreshed. I need a new start. I need to be in a different environment. I look at what I want to do in Wichita and that excites me. I think this time around, I need to be more creative, which my next position will possibly allow me to be. I need to get that smile back that I once had. When I first started here in New Windsor, I had that glow. The glow that I hadn't had before. The glow that says "I am going to have a great time here and my life is going to change for the better". I think ever since last November or December, I had lost it. Now is the time to go back and get it. New Windsor however was a success. When I look back and think of what I accomplished, I will think of things that I hadn't done before since arriving. New Windsor taught me to be more responsible for myself, as well as other things. I will take the things that I had picked up in New Windsor, and apply them to Wichita.
In other news, the Lakers have a 2-1 lead over the Magic in the NBA finals prior to this blog. Tonight they will play game 4. I have high hopes for the Lakers to win this game to take a commanding 3-1 lead. Kobe will have a much better game than he did on Tuesday. The rest of the team will come through.
Well the humid season has begun around here. I feel like I am quite used to it by now, but I still remind myself that I am from California, where it is mostly dry heat and manageable, even though sometimes it gets over 100 degrees some days. I was just thinking, and I am going to be in three different types of weather climates this summer: the east, the west, and wherever Kansas lands. I am not sure what Kansas weather is like, but I look forward to finding it out.
Everyone has been good over here so far. The host volunteers have been great. Now we have Ed and Betty Runion, who have been here twice before since I have been here. They have been here a lot longer though. Ed and Betty have been really great to me. I will always remember them even after they leave at the end of the month and when I leave in August. Then we have Larry and Elaine Balliet, who are just awesome people, just like the Petry's told me they would be. They are one of those couples I am going to remember and talk about for a long time. They got wonderful personalities and have great sense of humors. Then we got Art and Lois Hermanson, who have volunteered the longest. All my friends around here have been doing their thang as well, like Chef Walt, Cori, and Harry. All stayed busy and stayed cool.
Right now I am just trying to keep my head above water. Trying to stay focused on the task at hand. Trying to reach my ultimate goal here, to complete two years with now issues. I feel like that is going to happen. My attitude hasn't been up to par, but I am working on it each day, telling myself that I need to keep my head up and keep doing what I have been doing the last couple of years. Well that is the check in. I keep posting.
