Now you've gone and done it

Mirupafshim Shqiperi
Thursday I officially resigned as a Peace Corps Volunteer, so by this time next week I will be back in the States. I was offered a job, and I accepted.
I am not really sure how I feel about leaving. My emotions are quite mixed up right now. Part of me is incredibly excited to go home and see my family again. Part of me is really sad to leave all of the great friends I have made. Part of me is anxious about how I will react to being back in the land of plenty. Part of me is remeniscent about all the great times I have had here. Part of me is ready for some new work challenges. Part of me is ready for some indoor heating and 24-hour electricity. Part of me will always be in Shqiperi.
I suppose I will write more when I am back in the States just as a form of therapy for dealing with everything.
Mirupafshim Shqiperi dhe miqte te mi. Ju do te jeni ne zemren time pergjithmone.

It was interesting to know your viewpoints about the Albanian way of living as seen from an American. I am an Albanian myself living in US and there are a lot of differences you see when you compare the countries, but it's good that you were able to adapt. Thanks for the experiences you have shared with my people.
