It’s not the dinner and a movie type, but it still makes smile and get all giddy like an idiot. I just got the official word from Peace Corps: I will be leaving Kazakhstan on November 8th. It’s so good to know that questions such as “where will you be for your birthday?” “When are you leaving Kazakhstan?”, “What are you doing in November?” and “When can you start?” will no longer be answered with “I don’t know”. For the past two years, “I don’t know” has been my fallback phrase.
Now, I feel like I can start concretely planning for my life after I’m done here.
I won’t go directly back to the United States, but am researching costs of stopping in another country on my way back. Turkey, Greece, and even Egypt are all possibilities.
The best part was telling my mother this morning that we will bake cornbread together on Thanksgiving Day.
Now, back to work. These sessions for the new trainees won’t write themselves.
