I am sitting on the plane waiting to take off. I expected to be much more emotional than I am. I said goodbye at the hotel and it wasn’t as horrific as I imagined. Everyone was there-Mom, Linds, Kisha, Scott, Dad, Alla, and Ozzy! I was kind of rushed so it was a blur but like I said I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would. It wasn’t the long drawn out goodbye but I think that was better because I am not as emotional now-I think may be that it hasn’t hit me yet. I am so excited-having everyone (other PCVs) here really helped. I feel so right doing this and being here. This is absolutely the right thing for me to be doing.
