Lost in Lesotho

Putting words to my experiences as a PCV in Lesotho and now as an RPCV living in the Midwest! Continuing the journey post PC with a new job and long distance relationship with my boyfriend that is born and raised in Lesotho and that I met as a volunteer!

About Me: I'm a quarter life Midwestern girl that worked with Preschool (ECCD) teachers in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Now as an RPCV, I'm working with a rural school district in IL as a parent involvement coordinator with families with children 0-3.

So I posted a lot yesterday because I was in Maseru to do some errands for a project that I’m working on.

Today it is 10:19am as I start to write this blog and I am simply unable to go to work.

The past week has been exhausting and on Sunday I got news that a combi with many of my ECCD teachers, including my counterpart, over turned in TY.  Thankfully everyone is okay as far as I know, but car accidents are often times fatal here. 

Simply said, I am emotionally drained.

I think many PCVs think that I am hard at work right now because I am at site, but it hasn’t been the case in the past week.  I have successfully cleaned my house and made nutritious food and occasionally studied for the GRE, but that’s it. 

I’m officially calling today my last day of break and I need to get back into the swing of things.  Just needed to say this outloud!

See, we all have these days, don’t we?
