Staging and a final farewell

Devoted readers,

Exhausted, loopy, whatever you want to call it, I've survived staging in Philly. The day consisted of a lot of ice breakers and games for the 27 education volunteers heading to Guinea, mostly involving Peace Corps history/rules/talking about our own anxieties and hopes (lots of laughter and camaraderie). Basically, they served us Koolaid, we drank it, and it was delicious!

I now sit in my Holiday Inn hotel room, ready to pass out and wake up a new woman. Most of these other trainees must think I am loca due to my epic fatigue. I feel like the bright-eyed, naive Peace Corps Trainee that I should be! Excited, motivated, and relieved by how great this group seems.

I apologize for the brevity of this post. I'm too overwhelmed and exhausted to express basic facts. The next post will be from Guinea. See you on the other side!


p.s. THANK YOU to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this entire process. Saying goodbye was not pleasant and I will think of you often.
