So the job in Rockville is officially ending on December 24th. The lady who had her baby is coming back. I can say that I will actually miss it!! I'll miss the people, I'll miss the location, I'll miss everything. It will be nice, though, because then I can clear my roster for the Peace Corps! I can't imagine what it's going to be like to hold the invitation that says "YOU ARE INVITED TO SERVE IN ______________ FOR THE NEXT 27 MONTHS. YOU LEAVE IN TWO WEEKS. KAPICHE?"
Life is unstagnating. Thanksgiving is a few days away, replete with turkey, the Jews, the Christians, the aunts, uncles, cousin's babies whose names I forget. It's the only time of the year that I see about a third of my family. What does that say about interreligious families? The cultural divide between me and some of my cousins is huge- they've gone to religious Jewish schools their whole life, they've never worn pants or played sports. But, at the core, most are chill people. Still, it's staggering that at my age, most of them were married and/or new mothers.
