Currently Listening to: “I Don’t Want to Be” by Gavin DeGraw
It’s over in Pine Ridge. The summer is coming to an end, and that means my time on the res, and with these folks, is almost over. In our last week, we had cultural overload for those 19 people from family week. Monday night we had buffalo burgers sandwiched between small pieces of frybread. Tuesday night we had Indian tacos, and the cookout on Wednesday. It was great food. Plus, because of the small group, they got extra special attention from all the staff, and our contacts throughout the community. The group was solid, but I still could not wait to get back home. It’s not because I dislike where I was, but I am excited to get to my new job and place in MN (wherever that may be). When saying goodbye to everyone, it was hard, but necessary. Everyone we needed to say it to was there: our community members, my evening contacts, and importantly, the great kids from Manderson and Pine Ridge. Sunday night, after coming back from Pine Ridge and eating at Texas Roadhouse with our area, we stayed at a hotel. Worst. Sleep. Ever. It was terrible. I hope I can get more elsewhere…
