Good Bye Is Not the End (Inner)

I woke up so early today that I am still tired. This trip had been a little tiring for me. I am more introverted, so the large groups of people drained me a lot. There were a lot of times with this trip that I had to sit in the room a little by myself or go out to the pool to relax. I was unable to fully get in the pool but I kept dipping my feet in it. The pool is always a way relaxing me.

Today was the last day of being here in New Orleans. This has been the first real trip of me being by myself. It was a little hard since we had to travel in groups to prevent running into issues with theft or kidnapping. I am used to going places by myself because it is an easier way to experience the places. I like being in groups of two because it is easier to converse with people. When I was in groups with people, I was unable to talk and come up with ideas of what to do. I did not feel comfortable with saying things to do. They were a nice group, I just did not want them to not like me. I should have spoke up a little more when I wanted to do something.

The most interesting thing for me on this trip was the Jackson Square. On the square, I saw so many different street performers and groups. There were people rode unicycles and juggled. It was so fascinating watching them do these things. I know I probably I would never be able to do these things in my life. I am a huge klutz and can barely walk on the street without tripping. These people on the square take time to perform their craft that people pay to see them.

I hope while coming here that I learn how to be open with people. Being in a room with a person I have only met twice was a way of making me learn how to share places with people. The group of people I have spent time with have helped me adventure through the city. The service I have received with people have shown me that I am able to be more relaxed and not rush to get to places. I hope that I am able to visit New Orleans again one day.
