I just read an email from my mom exactly a year ago. She wrote it after she dropped me off at the airport to fly to San Francisco on my way to Thailand. Apparently we were both a little cranky that morning. I don't remember, but am not surprised as (knowing my packing style) I had probably only had a few hours of sleep, and was very unsure of all that lay ahead of me.
I can not believe it's been a year since I embarked on my across the world adventure. The fall was it's own experience- traveling and meeting people around South East Asia. And since January it's been another chapter. I can't believe I've been in the Peace Corps for 8 months now. It seems much shorter which is reassuring as I am looking forward to being back in the states, and know it will certainly be less than 8 months away.
Life has really settled into a routine here, which is very nice. I remember how much I longed for a permanent place on a shelf to put my moisterizer for so long. But the learning curve has started to plateu. I am not learning fascinating new things about Thai culture and how to manuver though it every day. I do love the comfort and ease with which things are coming now, but I, as always, am also looking ahead to what is next.
