Melissa leaves on Sunday, or thereabouts, like I said. I wonder what it says about me... the fact that I'm thinking of leaving of my own volition, whereas Melissa is being forced to leave and wants to stay. It's seems so selfish, somehow. And I feel guilty for having the option to stay, whereas she doesn't.

It's been a rough couple of days. We've both been trying to keep it together and stay strong. Naturally we've had our bad moments. Luckily, we had other PCVs around to get us through the first couple of days. I can't imagine if it were just the two of us. What a pity-party that would be! I'm trying to stay upbeat and look at the positive things. I'm wonering how long I'll be able to keep it up.
