update

so, i just wrote a really long post ranting about work related troubles and how stressed out i am. ehhh i erased it because it sounded awful. needless to say, i am really exhausted and have been working on grants forever it seems with little support or interest from my coworkers. i will just say that the frustration i have felt in the last few days rivals my feelings about my last site.

plus, my clubd has gone on hiatus until next year because of the move and school vacations. which means that all i really have to do is administration related bs that i was really enjoying doing less of.

however! i will be celebrating thanksgiving with other pcvs starting thursday, then going to a week-long pcv training in durban--not too far to travel!--and then maybe another in pretoria--and then jeff is coming to visit me and then we go to St. Lucia (think water, hippos, and crocodiles), durban (going out for my birthday and xmas), and mozambique (water, beaches, and boiling weather). it should be fun!

i have been pretty homesick lately. 95% of people from home have really stopped contacting me (yes, i am publicly shaming you), so i have gone on strike about trying to initiate any contact. i'm just tired i guess. whatever, out of sight out of mind? it just totally stinks. i'm just bummed more than anything. hopefully this visit and seeing pcv friends for a 3 week period will get me out of my slump. i'm just more worried about my birthday and christmas. i know this is weird, being almost 24--but i have never spent my birthday or christmas away from home...strange. whatever, i'm sure it will be fine.

i probably won't post for a while, as i will be away from the internet--and i forgot to mention--my computer is currently out of service.

blah.
