I just received great news! I am now 100% fundraised for my
first two years in the Dominican! I have booked plane tickets and am set to fly
on November 2nd to Guatemala for language school. In the meantime, I
have traveled to North Carolina for training, Colorado for my roommate’s
wedding, Massachusetts to visit with a friend, Washington DC for my sister’s
wedding, New Jersey to visit my parents and now I am floating around New
Hampshire packing up the things from my house and preparing for life overseas. It has been quite the adventure!
I left Wheaton 2 months ago, but am no closer to being
settled than the day I left. Reasons I know I’m living a nomadic life style:
1. I
get excited when I learn I’ll be sleeping in the same bed two nights in a row.
2. My
suitcase never seems to unpack.
3. Finding
a shirt that was not in my suitcase is like Christmas as I am able to mix up my 4
rotating outfits.
4. I
have borrowed so many different shampoos I frequently wonder what my hair
smells like.
5. Things
I used to cling to are now extra burdens to carry and have
thus been given away.
6. I
freely accept any and all dinner invitations!
On a bright note, the foliage here has been the best I've
seen in years! The whole neighborhood is orange. I haven't taken many pictures except for this one on the
airplane back east and the next one in my town.
