Returning from a Mission Trip

Returning from a mission trip is always very difficult for me. I absolutely love missions and and am contemplating upon whether or not it truly is my life's calling. I think so but I must wait on God. He has it under control. That is pretty much one of the only things in life I am confident about. 
Also I want to put a little snippet in right here to say I am sorry that I have ADHD/ADD whatever you wish to call it... So the blogs might be a little all over the place... 
Anyways back to the original thought, I hate coming home from mission trips because of the following reasons:
1. I love missions. PERIOD
2. I am very extroverted and love being around my friends 24/7
3. You have nothing else to concentrate on but God. 
4. I don't have to be in serious mode too much because of school work that awaits in Athens...
5. I love helping and taking care of other people. 
6. I love traveling and adventures. 

So to say that coming back to do homework in my dorm room is a letdown is quite the understatement. Well I am not really doing homework yet I am blogging but still. I don't know if everyone experiences such a devastating let down as I do but it is rather disheartening. I feel such a strong swing of emotions but it doesn't have to be that way. There are always ways to affect people for Christ no matter where I turn. So if I concentrated on that and the joy that it brings me then maybe just maybe I wouldn't be so depressed about returning. Just a thought.
