Today is officially my last 24-hour day in Mission College, Thailand. Tomorrow, I will get on an early morning flight back home. Goodbye dusty roads sometimes fragranced by the noxious air from a nearby chicken farm.

Already I've said on-the-verge-of-tears goodbyes to some of my friends. Tomorrow, the process will repeat. Goodbye to the people with whom I've spent so much of my time.

My last hours here will be spent eating, laughing, perhaps even crying with friends, and with the Cheney kids, especially the three boys (Nate, Colin, and Ryan). Tomorrow, I will wonder if I will ever see them again, and if the boys will have the vaguest idea of my existence.

Goodbye to this good and extremely blessed life that I do not want to give up just yet. But this chapter has come to an end, and life must go on. I must keep a positive and happy demeanor while I'm still here.

p/s: I think I've written a post with a similar tone about a similar situation almost two years ago.

Ever since finals started, I've had the opportunity to get some extra shut-eye. On thing good about sleeping in is that I find myself getting less hungry! (I know this will sound really bad, but I've resorted to one meal a day.)

Less Hungry = Less Eating

And of course,

Less Eating = Less Weight Put On

Naturally,

Less Weight Put On = Less Fat on Body

Which brings us to,

Less Fat on Body = Less Fat on Face and Chin

Those are the two places I've been trying to shrink, but to no avail. It seems that all the fat that I consume goes to my face, chin, and tummy. Everywhere else is still skinny. I wish the fat would distribute evenly.

I'm crazy and obsessed, right?
