We have three full weeks of training left. Next week and the
week after we have model school (so excited!), then there’s one week of wrap up
before we head to Kigali to swear in! Our time in Rwamagana has been fast and
slow at the same time. Days dragged on (especially all day language class!),
but the weeks flew by. I feel like I finally have a routine here, but I am also
super ready to swear in and head to site. I will definitely miss the other trainees,
but I think it’s time for us to leave the nest.
In addition, over the past few weeks, I have been buying
things for site and, thankfully, my list is starting to dwindle. There are few
things I will definitely have to get in Kigali, but I’m hoping I will have
enough move-in allowance money to spring for a toaster oven (just think of the
possibilities!). And there have been a few comments about starting really
early, but I must remind people that I spent about 3 months packing for
college, 2 months packing for Peace Corps, and 1 month packing for a six week
Europe trip. I like to be prepared.
Also, I already through this out there to the Arlington
Middle School community, but are there any teachers out there who want to set
up a pen pal thing with my students and their students! Just let me know!
Happy early Thanksgiving and here are some pictures!
