Counter-Parts Conference

I'm the sideways one.

It's the last week of training and all the trainees have reassembled at Island Cove. It's the last training before swearing-in and being set loose on our respective sites. This is a tough time as there are so many conflicting feelings over the end of training, let's list some.

Positive: Meeting my new host family, beginning work, meeting other PCVs in the area, seeing a new place, settling down, the chance to find a gym, and getting away from select personalities.

Negative: Saying goodbye to my new friends, loosing the safety net of our LCFs and TCFs, finally being alone.

I'm not concerned though. I assume these feelings are mutual within each PCT to varying degrees.

Tonight I finally get to meet my Counter-Part, this is my go to person at site, the person I'll be working a majority of the time with. We meet at dinner this evening.

Oh yeah, more Power-Point presentations too.
