Hello all!
Ive made it home for the holidays. Its almost a surreal experience. Because I when I left last year the temperature was simpler, and because nothing really ever changes here, it almost feels like Nicaragua was just a short vacation or something, because the world I'm walking back into is pretty much identical to the one I left.
Im having a hard time explaining my time abroad. As many of you know Im a cynic, and its possible I've been painting my experiences rather strongly with the negative brush. But thats really not the whole reality, as you probably know from my previous readings.
Its wonderful to be able to communicate in my native language,Im actually more of a talker now than I was before, Im just catching up! My vocab in english has become slightly diminished, but it should go back up as I need to study for the GREs (UUUGHHHH!). Another thing that I hadn't anticipated was that when you can't communicate you loose a little of your personality, so its nice to have the whole Hazel back.
Happy New year everyone. When I feel more inspired I'll write more.
I will be spending 27 months volunteering in Nicaragua as a community health coordinator for the Peacecorps starting in January of 2009. The opinions expressed on this page solely represent the author, not the peacecorps or any other involved organizations.

It was so awesome to see you when you were home and we were glad to have all of Hazel back too! :)
And I know the feeling of losing English and forgetting words, it really is a pain in the ass!!!
