Alright everyone, headed into the final stretch of CBT here. It’s been a crazy, sometimes wonderful, sometimes difficult journey. Once I head back to CBT site on Thursday, I will have 7 days left with my host family. It is a very bittersweet time. I swear in (aka become an official Peace Corps Volunteer) on May 25 (inshallah) and will head to my final site on May 26. I’m excited for these new things and to finally get to move to where I will live for the next two years, but of course, I will be very sad to leave this wonderful family that have become rather attached to. We have all gotten our routine down-I play cards with my brothers and sister every night, we all eat breakfast together in the morning and dinner together at night. I help my sister in the kitchen either with cooking or cleaning up after the meals. My brothers and I have secret handshakes and I’ve taught them lots of American games. They put up with my rough language skills and are nothing but patient and caring. And on top of that, I have learned to embrace the wonderful support of my fellow CBT mates and I know that I will miss them greatly when we all head our separate ways (and yes, I totally started singing the Journey song after I wrote that, thank you Cal Band).
I know that I have not been able to keep in touch with you all as much as I would like to. Feel free to write me letters anytime (just email me and ask for the address!) and I will try to update this regularly when I’m in my final site. However, if I fall behind or something of the sort and you want to catch up, please write an email (and yes, I think all of your lives and what you do everyday is interesting, even if you don’t)! And, as always, let me know if you’re rollin’ through Morocco anytime in the future and you will have a couch or bed or floor/whatever I can offer at your beck and call!
