After a long 5 days of house arrest I am glad to
say it has been lifted and we are going to teach again today. Hopefully things
will go back to normal soon but my head teacher has reason to believe we could
be placed back under house arrest... that will be a day.
There were times when I thought I was going to go
home. I guess that is still a possibility that we could still leave but it got
to the point where I was making back up plans. I was talking to my friends in
England and my friends in France also putting in job applications in Italy. If
I had to leave the country I was going to try my hardest to stay in Europe for
as long as possible.
On Friday the house arrest was kind of lifted. it was more like temporarily lifted. I
was allowed to go with my host family to the park as long as I was back before
dark. I then was able to go across town by car to another coordinators house
witch we had dinner out altogether. it felt great to be out again and be with friends face to face! Sadly the
house arrest was put back on when we got back to her place so me and Marilee
where stuck on the other side of town with no way back for the night and another day. so needless to say we
spent the whole weekend over there. It was fun but I was glad when I was able
to go back to my host family.
The president is out of office! There are photos of
his house that is going around online. It just makes me sick to see all the
money he stole from his people to make himself and his family rich. He had no
right being president and I am happy to say that he is gone. Ukraine has the
right for the pursuit of happiness and the freedom we enjoy. I hope that
someday soon they will have all of this.
Out of this whole weekend I learned patients, and
how to deal with problems calmly. I also learned to rely on the Lord
and understand what ever happened, it was all part of his plan and I should
comply with it instead of being my stubborn self.
Things have gotten better; however things are not completely well. There are still protests going on in the center. Not many people can say that they were in a middle of a revolution in a foreign country for their internship. This is one of a kind and I will never forget this moment in my life. It has changed my outlook on a lot of things. I have already learned so much. I would never change this experience for anything.
Till next time,
Darla
