I am medically cleared and ready to go to my post. I got my itinerary and will be leaving Sunday morning. It will be an incredibly long day as I leave here at 10am, get into Jersey by 11:15, fly out at 6pm and land in Austria 8:30am (about 2am here) and after a 4 hour layover there, arrive in Albania at 2:20 pm. (9:20 am our time).
Yesterday I re-packed, cleaned and got another hair cut, thinking I was shipping out today. Now I'll settle in to wait for the next big leaving.
I've been keeping up with my comrades in-country and they all seem pretty content right about now. No sense in complaining anyway. We've all signed on to serve and serve we will.
"Serve where Peace Corps asks you to go, under conditions of hardship if necessary, and with the flexibility needed for effective service". (Peace Corps Expectation #3) From everything I've read so far the most difficult thing to get used to is the cold (indoors). No one has central heating.
See you in Albania! Mirupafshim! (Goodbye)
