I'll be going to bed soon
As usual, I've managed to spend hours on the internet, when I really didn't need to. But I suppose it was interesting in some way.
Well, David, I wonder when you'll read this. I rather miss you, you know, and you've only been gone for eight hours. I thought about you at twelve thirty, thinking you'd be on your way to the airport soon, and then at three fifty, thinking you were probably on the plane getting ready to leave. And now I'm wondering if you're in Anchorage, and I'm writing you an email. It's going to be tough, but I think we can do this--I'm pretty sure we can make it through the next two years ish and not be complete and absolute strangers when we get to the end of it.
Anne-Marie, are you noticing lines of demarcation between the various stages of Peace Corps service? I'm noticing that there's the ones thinking about it, the people working on the application stage, the people working on the medical stage, the invitees like us, the ones in service, and the rpcv's. Maybe what I said was just painfully obvious, but there are distinguishing characteristics of each group. Anyway, it was interesting to me. Also, I read those articles about safety, and I'm very glad that there were all those comments beneath it. As I was reading, I was like, "But what do the volunteers say?" Well, good luck to you, and I hope you have fun. We'll have to compare experiences and whatnot.
At this point, I feel like there is a lot of stuff to do over the next five and a half weeks, and also not much at all to do. I'm going to devote myself to spending time with my family. I'm looking forward to getting more information about everything, and I'm looking forward to going. I'm looking forward to something stirring up this little summer vacation of mine. It does get a little frustrating, when each day and each week blend into each other. Getting up for work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, each day roughly the same thing. I'm pretty sure teaching won't be like that. I'm happy about that.
I hope all is well with all of you. Liz, in case you get on the internet before I have a chance to mention it, I meant to call you and tell you you can totally delete that scene if you want to. I trust your judgment.
Hopefully I will not be chopped in two over the next couple of years and I'll survive to come back and tell you all about it.
Good luck to all of you.
