November 24, 2015, marked the last day of my Peace Corps service, my Close of Service (COS). Now I am an RPCV – a RETURNED Peace Corps Volunteer.
The question of the moment is “What will you do after Peace Corps?”
I don’t really have a straight answer. I know that I want to look for a job in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I don’t know exactly what job and I don’t have it figured out yet. I have so many mixed feelings – I am excited to go home and see my family and friends, I am anxious about finding a job, I am nervous to have a schedule and a car and going back to a fast paced life, I am worried that I might gain a ton of weight on processed foods, and much more. It is hard to explain and a little overwhelming.
But right now, I am planning on relaxing. My friend, Kristy, and I are in Swaziland. Next, we are going to Mozambique, Victoria Falls and Dubai before flying home. (More blog posts to come!)
