But au contraire. This is yet another very true story. Every day is a battle. We come out with scars, but the best thing to do is laugh at ourselves :) I'm so glad we could share our stories together. A few of my favorite lines you've written.<br /><br />"'I have a VERY big bag,' I said slowly, gesturing to the pack on my back. 'And I want to leave it here.'I pointed behind the counter with a pathetic look on my face that I hoped wouldn’t be mistaken for constipation." (I was laughing so loud right now, picturing you re-enacting this at the cafe!)<br /><br />"And when I am able to laugh hysterically over something that made me cry only a few days earlier, I feel that I have made progress." (This just plain old touched my heart.)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your great adventure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637400668563005914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654857886622939608.post-50830482942768070612011-10-12T21:58:31.715-05:002011-10-12T21:58:31.715-05:00Absolutely an A+ for hanging in there, and for sha...Absolutely an A+ for hanging in there, and for sharing so openly with us. We love you, are proud of you, and we are your grateful students. You are so good at helping us to see what your life is like right now....your trials....your victories. Sending love!You are accomplishing what many people would be too fearful to try....living in a foreign country, and traversing it solo.
