Back in School!
While I have a break in my transition back to life here, I decided to acquire some skills.
“You know, like nunchuk skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills… Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.” Napoleon Dynamite
Almost as random, I’m registered to take culinary arts, carpentry, and conversational Spanish at Griffin Technical College. And only for those of you who know me well, will these make sense.
FYI – For those of you who need some serious skills like me, you can go to any Technical College in Georgia (as a resident of GA and with a B –average), and the HOPE Grant will pay for all your tuition along with $100/quarter for books for up to 95 hours in a diploma program. This is after I already received the HOPE Scholarship for all tuition for my undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia. Something to think about!
Home Now
Just for good measure, I managed to get sick again on the Saturday before I was to leave on Tuesday, June 23rd. I left the JNB airport hoping to spend a few weeks back at L’Abri recovering and processing the year. However, in the middle of my flight from JNB to Paris, the common cramps/diahrrea turned severe and I also was losing a lot of blood. The blood scared me, and upon my arrival to Paris “managed” to find the first flight home to Atlanta. That process of changing flights/going to the airport doctor included entry and exit from security/passport control 3 different times, and for those who have been to CDG, you can join me in my increasing hatred for that place.
I am in Griffin now…happy to be home and getting well.
