The last 6 months
Well it’s been almost 6 months since I finished Peace Corps. It’s very strange to me that that much time has actually passed, i feel like it takes me a second and i can feel right as if I’m back in a preschool classroom in Morija or taking a walk with Sejake.
The transition home wasn’t too bad, really. However, I had some health problems that weren’t diagnosed in Lesotho that I’ve been dealing with and will hopefully be fully well soon. I am very thankful that I feel like myself again and that I’m ready to move forward.
Currently the big question is what am I going to do this year? I can’t go to graduate school until 2012 and there just aren’t a lot of jobs that I really want to do here.
I have been fortunate to step back into things that I really enjoy like helping with my old dance studio. Dance is and always will be very important to me:)
Currently, I’m working at a local restaurant serving and training to assist managerially. It isn’t exactly what I want to do by any means, but it’s a job for the moment to keep me busy and give me some form of schedule in my life.
I have been wavering back in forth since coming home about going back to Lesotho. Sejake is there and of the two of us for the moment he has the better job and the start of a career. So I have been saying that I will go back to Lesotho, but the question is when and for how long? I would love to go back and work, but we will see if that ends up being in the cards for me. As much as I want to just jump and leap into life in Lesotho and just see where it ends up, it also scares the bejesus out of me about how things will work out. I will forever be a planner and how do you plan for the unknown? I know you can’t!
