Changes

In less then 2 weeks I am coming back to Canada. For this reason I have been thinking quite a bit about how I have changed b/c when you are present as the changes happen you don't notice them but now that I am going back to people who know me I realize that they might see some changes. Well an experience yesterday really clarified one big change for me. I just walked up to someone that I didn't know at all and started gabbing away. She is also an au pair for the best friends of my family. I was talking with one of the girls she takes care of and I said "Is that your new au pair?" As soon as she said yes I just walked up to her, asked her if she spoke english and invited her to go to the movies with me and a friend that night. People might say that that's not out of character at all but really it is. Usually when I am surrounded by my friends I can talk to anyone but as soon as I am by myself I stick to myself and don't like to talk with new people. I am hoping that this new found independent confidence continues when I am in Canada!
