I really don't know what I'm going to be doing with this website from now on. I started it so that people could read about my experiences in Jamaica while I was there. I am no longer living there so my life is not so interesting at the moment. It's also less interesting to myself. I don't have a job. I'm watching my readjustment allowance slip slowly away and I'm not helping anyone or working with computers like I have enjoyed for the previous two years. It has been nice to see people here that I haven't seen for a while but most people aren't really that interested in what I did in the Peace Corps or don't know how to ask about it. As soon as I begin talking about something I did or experienced, the subject is changed to some exaggeration of Jamaica or a story slightly relating to my story but more involving the current location. Many of my friends have wives or live in girlfriends so I can't hang out as I longed for while I was gone. Most are working and between work and home seem too tired to really do anything.
Sometimes I complain that people expect me to be the same here as I was before I was in the Peace Corps. The funny thing is that sometimes I expect them to be the same as well -- like with having girlfriends now and not having time to really do anything. It's a strange situation. I started writing this on the 17th and quite a bit has happened since then so I guess I can't really complete as I had planned. Oh I have been awful at updating this site lately. I have photos and things but I just haven't edited and put them up. If you feel like bothering me with an email and complaining, go ahead and it just might help! Well... Later.
