Eat, Pray, Peace Corps: Homeless

Going through a site change sucks. Period. You live out of a backpack again, just like training. Your whole life is in storage. You feel like a burden as you live in another volunteers house for an undetermined amount of time. You don't have the personal space you are used to. You eat out a lot and end up spending more money. You live in a new place where no one knows who you are, and once again you are just another "muzungu". Plain and simple, you just miss your own home you once had!

There have also been some positives to all of this though. I have been staying in the Eastern part of uganda, hopping around and staying with different PCV's. Since I lived in the Southwest for the last 8 months, I didn't really get to see people out here much, other than during trainings. It's been nice getting to hang out with people from my training group and get to see parts of Uganda I have never been to! All in all, it hasn't been too bad and in a way has been like a vacation. My fingers are crossed that I will be getting a new site very soon. There are a couple promising ones that could become my new home soon. In the mean time, tomorrow is my birthday and ill be surrounded by friends! And next week I leave for vacation with friends to Zanzibar, a beautiful island off the coast of Tanzania....google it...you'll be jealous ;) more to come about my trip and hopefully my new home!
