Yesterday was Flag Day at A-100. If you haven't heard about this before, Flag Day is the day when we all find out where we're going next. I had all these mixed feelings about Flag Day. I kept hearing how exciting it all was, but in all honesty I wasn't feeling super excited. Or anxious for that matter. I don't know why. I wanted to know where I was going, but maybe not with as much... I dunno.... fervor as others in my class. I've gotten so used to instability in my life that the idea of getting some stability is more foreign to me than the idea of living in a foreign country. So I didn't know what to think.
Let's just say everyone was right. Flag Day was SO much fun! Everyone in the class was energized and cheering and yelling. Every time a flag went up on the screen, we yelled out the name of the country. We played games and took pictures. It was like a big pep rally where everyone walks away with a prize: a flag and an assignment! I loved seeing where everyone was going next. And I've already started thinking about little vacations to visit some of my classmates.
And so begins the rest of our lives!
Also, in case you were wondering, I'll be going to....
NEW DELHI! Yes, I'll be back in India and I can't wait! I head over there in August 2012 after I learn me some more Hindi and get a bit more job training. All in all, I couldn't be happier.
PS - Fair warning: this may mean a long hiatus in blogging for me. But rest assured, I'll be updating again when I get closer to packing out and leaving.
