I'm doing 19 things
I really need to do this quickly. I will be going to Niger the 30th of August and will be taking classes in French, speaking in French, etc. I’ve taken two years at college, but I wish I had worked harder at it. I should really be practicing at least an hour or two a day.

It’s been really difficult making new friends. There aren’t any younger people at the job I work at and a lot of my friends are not home this summer. But I have been keeping closer with two of my friends that do live by, so that’s a plus. I also am being more open to people. I was at my friend’s party the other day, and I wasn’t too nervous about making conversation or anything, which is a pretty good improvement. This Fall semester in Niger should be a really great opportunity to make some freindships.
I did two days in a row. It’s been really difficult concentrating, but I know that this is normal and too be expected. Only when I am still can I recognize how fast my mind is really working. I’m going to try to go to some kind of Buddhist center either Thursday or Sunday. It’s a little scary cause I don’t want to embarass myself by messing up their rituals or whatever they do exactly. But I suppose if they really are working toward compassion. They won’t really care.
