what is happening guy 22
soo woo its been a pretty crazy last 3 or 4 days i hear. Guy 22s numbers seem to be wavering really quickly! This is upsetting. Through the PC grapevine I hear that 4 people have Eted (early terminated) and return or are returning to the states. Is there something in the water??? I just didn't expect this much this fast. I mean we all go through thinking about it. Obviously I thought about it ALOT at my site but I am glad that I made my decision to stay. But everyone makes their own choices for their own reasons. I'm just sad that these great people that I really liked won't be around anymore. I was closer with some of them than others but I am sad to see all of them go. I am just starting to feel comfortable and happy where I am. I mean I am really happy. But i think that because I was in a remote site that I was unhappy with first I am more appreciative and happy with what I have now. I feel a sense of purpose and normalcy where I am now. I miss my old roomate (love ya Becky) but I love my new roomate too. I really like the school where I am working with and I am really motivated and excited to think of what I want to do. I already have a lot of ideas ( which I know most probably wont happen). I am really excited for what the next few months ..and years have in store for me. I think that over the last 3 and half months I have matured A LOT. and I have a lot more goals for myself now. Oh and I survived my first night alone since I've been in Guyana cause I've either had my host family or roomates. But my roomate had to go to town today so she stayed at a friends house. It was kind of interesting ( and somewhat scary with the noises) but I liked it and I was fine. I even did my own market shopping today. I did not know the charity market was that big. guess i didnt see all of it last week. so i kinda wandered around it today buying what i needed and just looking. i even had my first experience buying fresh beef. I know BEEFFF sooooo exciting and the guy cut it for me with NO BONES. those of you people not in guyana have no idea how exciting that is. then i cut up the meat myself. pretty cool thing. although buying meat never scared me like it does some of the volunteers cause lets be honest i have a fat girl mentality so if its going to taste good ill eat it. :) i also sent in my task force applications and wrote a letter to give my students parents for a survey on what they would like to see implemented at the school. although not sure if they'll let me print them off. but take that CDS im getting you done. (little by little). i also started day dreaming about grad schools i know its early but i always like to think about the next thing i want to do with my life while im doing the current big thing. im thinking though that i want to go to a school maybe in europe. after being here even only for this short time i definitely feel much more comfortable and confident to move anywhere and be able to make it. or i might just end up in a school in the south. i dont know. since ive been here i feel like im a rare being or something im one of the only ones from my group that is from the south and people like to ask me about it a lot..guess i didnt know it was that special lol and make fun of my accent. but i definitely think i want to end up there at some point. maybe the ATL or florida..which doesnt really count. well anyway Im going to go be productive..hopefully..... stay strong Guy22ers!!
