I have 2.5 months left in Zambia. My flight is already booked. The things in my house are slowly finding new owners. Life is getting really busy. My cat already has a new home. The people in my intake are slowly returning to their lives in America due to school and jobs. Everything is fizzling out. It is so weird. The end of an era is coming.
I can say Peace Corps is the hardest job I will ever love. I could cry if I continue talking about my experience. It means so much to me. I am not ready to come home and I am. It is confusing. I know that all good things come to an end but I am grateful for the time I have left and I have made peace with my service. I did my best.
Change subjects... I have a lot to do before service is finished. I still have a grant open.
Next weekend I am having a GLOW/ELITE Camp at my school for kids at my school. 50 kids have signed up and paid the 5 kwacha fee! I am excited about it. I will probably become a sleepless monster because of it but I know the kids will be SO happy. That is what counts.
In July I am hosting the first ever Central Malaria Boot Camp! It is also just a weekend camp. We will have a crash course in malaria using the Grassroots Soccer Malaria Edition.
To top it all off, I have taken on my friend's grant. They left due to health problems and now I helping them out finishing up making a chicken coop.
I am still teaching when I find time. I can't let my babies go. Teaching is really what makes me happy in the village. I love being surrounded by the kids. Thinking about saying goodbye to them... Yeah. No.
Zambia is where it is at. These next few months are going to fly. Make it stop.
