Wait, maybe not so soon

Hello all,

THank you for all your emails regarding my last email. Here's the update:

I went to the sub office to collect my mail (yes i got your package mom and dad, thank you thank you thank you) and Jen, the PCVL was there (PCVL just means she's in charge of the office, she lives there and stuff).....and i wasn't gonna tell anyone my problems, cuz i didn't want to hash it all out again, but the good lord (however you want to bleieve in it) works in mysterious ways.....I ended up telling her about everything, and she asked if she could call john and advocate for a site change for me.

So she did. and John told her, he's behind me, the only problem is there's no sites available right now. He's doing site development for the new volunteers coming in in September, so he's working on stuff. and he told her to have me call him the next day.

So I did. and He told me the same stuff, and he gave me permission to get away from site for a while so here's my itenerary: tomorrow, June 15-june 20 i'll be in cape coast with dixie and angela and ang's boyfriend. June 21 to June 24 I"ll be in Anumso with Sapisco (my best friend from Foase, also my boyfriend) June 24-26 I'll be back in Foase with Sapisco to collect some woodcarvings for people who ordered. June 26 to who knows when i"ll be in the UPper West region near Wa with James doing HIV education with the women in his community and visiting Lexie, Sarah B, and Mike and Jennell......

Someone told me that if you ET in Ghana, they send you home immediately, that you don't even get to go back to site to pack......i don't know how true that is, but that puts a bit of a damper on my plans (is that even a word?) so I'm not sure......

Right now......I don't know if I want to give the energy of being the new Bruni at a new site. But I think the next couple weeks away from site will help me out and possibly give me more energy and get my mind ready for more Africa.....or it could just let me know that 2 years in Africa is too long for me......there are plenty of things i like in Ghana.....and plenty of things i don't like.....Let's just say that i'm confused, and as of right now i still want to go home, but i have small hope of regaining the optimism i once had. SO anyway, i need to have a real chit chat with John.....cuz basically, it's like oh you're not happy, let's switch you sites, cuz you're a good volunteer and you integrated so well into your first community, etc......but it was never, is switching sites the best option? so i guess i'll come to that after i travel....at least PC gave me permission.

We'll see,

Kris
