As I wait to leave for a new life, serving in the Peace Corps in Mongolia (leaving on May 30th), I have decided to start my blog. My hopes for these early entries is to keep myself sane. My hopes for the ones while in the Peace Corps is to provide a connection from Mongolia and the United States. Most won't know about these postings till I leave since I will post some sensitive things (i.e. love life, health, etc.), all the stuff that I will not care about people knowing when I leave.
For right now, my life has been a mix of impatience, wanting the time to slow, and self discovery. This is made ever the more complicated by the fact that I have no idea if I want to be single now or risk love with guys who have been wanting a relationship with me; pondering the ones who I might establish one with if they, themselves, were not so complicated or lack-luster about a relationship with me. Along with this, I have been trying to make time for everyone who deserves it, minding the ones who do not put enough of their own time into my life. It should be an equal effort.
My mother, grandmother, a few aunts, cousin and friends, have all been a godsend in my life. Through the waiting game that the Peace Corps has liked to play with me, they have been my greatly needed distractions and cheerleaders. They have put up with my griping and complaining about waiting, and are now helping me to savor these last two months like an ever-lasting gobstopper.
I do not know what these last few months in America will have in-store for me, but I hope that they will not be too crazy.
