have you gotten in touch with RPCVs from jordan or PCVs there now. Ask them what you can't get in Jordan that you might want. You never know what that one thing will be that you like so much but just isn't availible, like chapstick or soy sauce. In Niger you can't buy a good pillow, but who would have known? So ask PCVs.

Also remember to be extra extra kind to yourself during training. It will burn you out and you just won't feel like yourself for a while, but this is normal because you're in a new country with a new language and new culture. Be super patient and don't worry. I know it will all fall into place for you.

HUGS!!

Is that a band, or were Maggie & Mollie actually sitting there staring at you, all three-eyed and kooky looking?

hey! nice to see you on the livejournal space! if you get a profile, let me know so i can put you on the friends list. right now, you can't see most of my posts.
it was definitely some fuzzy friends of ours in the background that day. so what's going on in the burbs these days? i've got about 4 days left in my homestay before i go to amman for our last couple days of shopping for our houses, last minute policy workshops and swearing in. i'd like to take this opportunity, when so much of our government is irritating at the very least, that our ambassador is a lovely human being and i'm happy to have him represent me here.

but yes, do get a profile or email me w/yr news. you must be going through a hell of a lot. take care and, of course, lots of love and hugs all around.
