Today is my last day in the wonderful town of Watertown, NY (where Matthew lives). It's been an awesome visit but it makes it really hard to leave him. wah. A lot of people ask me what we plan on doing because long distance relationships are hard and blah blah.. and to those people I wish I was able to offer some ultra calculated plan that we've devised (and to those who know me, I always love making a plan for my impending life). However, as I've quickly come to realize, the Peace Corps forces you to give up on that entirely. Quite frankly, it's terrifying.
Either way, it makes things a little easier that he has his thing going on (aka the army) and I have mine at the same time. It's been brought to my attention, and I find it kind of silly, that my fiance is doing war and I'm doing peace. Well I suppose opposites do attract!
So while he's been away at work, I sit around and pretend to be a housewife (which actually means I've just been watching Netflix and eating all day). So I decided I shouldn't completely waste my time and actually do something useful. I've started my Peace Corps checklist/packing list and it just really seems impossible. Have I said this before? Well let me just say this again, HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO PACK FOR 2 YEARS OF MY LIFE?! two suitcases? Seems irrational to me. blerg. if anyone has some suggestions, feel free to share!
keeping it short and sweet this time.
until next time,
