COS Conference

Our final Peace Corps Conference is finished! We just got back from Georgetown for our final conference. We covered how to find jobs, cope with the transition back home, and make togas. It was two days of work and one day of fun.

Here's a photo of most all the volunteers from my group who have made it this far:

(For more photos, including Toga photos, see Chris' facebook album.)

Now I am writing my resume, applying for federal jobs, and planning my entry into the states after two years!

Now begins the awkward tug back and forth:

Remodel Learning Resource Centre

(Hot showers!)

Must make dinner tonight

(Ice cream!)

Finish final report for grant

(Write resume!)

Dance and exercise group at 5pm

(Gym memberships and yoga mats!)

Haul water from well

(Mexican food!)

Bicycle to work

(Paved roads!)

Fan yourself to sleep

(Fall! Winter!! Spring!!!)

Light the kerosene lamp

(Family and Friends!)

You can see how we’re a bit torn. Life must continue here, and with even more enthusiasm than before since it is the end. There is a rush to do everything on the “Bucket List”, to take pictures of everyone, to have long, meaningful conversations, and to do every possible activity. But then, visions of cheesecake and July 4^th and home décor keep popping into your head! What’s a girl to do???
