This has been graduation week, so it's been fairly busy. We've had an awards night, Cafe Night (like a talent show), baccalaureate service, a bush dance (like square dancing), and finally the graduation ceremony yesterday. It's been really special to have only 10 graduates in such a close community. All the services and events were very personal and familial. At the graduation service, each pair of parents stood behind their child and prayed for him or her especially.
Now the students are gone and we've got 2 teacher work days to finish cleaning out the classrooms. I'll be at my flat on Tuesday, cleaning and packing there, then going to Islamabad on Wednesday for a TEAM dinner. I'll spend the night with a family there, as my flight leaves early on Thursday morning. There is another family on the same flight as me, which I'm thankful for. I go from Islamabad to Doha (the capital of Qatar), then to JFK, and on home to SFO!
A few of us got together last night to share pictures from the year, and different trips we've all taken. I'm so privileged and thankful for all the travels I've had in my life so far - Belize, Cuba, Mexico, Paris, Barcelona, Scotland, Ireland, and now Pakistan. I've realized how much I really do get excited about traveling, and hope that my future holds more of it!
