So, i have decided to create a blog while i am in Ecuador. Here is to hoping that there will be an internet connection that this wont be a once a year habit (crossed-fingers)
As you can tell i have taken the leadership role and gave myself a nickname. I think it is quite symbolic and simply, a perfect fit for me... JRex. The J is stemming from the first initial in my name Jessica, and the Rex is born from my love and adoration of dinosaurs mixed with the well known fact that i am pretty big and kinda scary. So wha-la JRex.
Now for the reason i am writing this blog.... I am moving to Ecuador in one week and one day for the next 27 months. That means that when i return i will be almost 25 and in the middle of the peak baby-making years of any females life. So in short i am going to find a husband.... just kidding. But really i am leaving in 8 days and i have absolutely no idea what i am getting myself into. My dad keeps saying that i am going to change and learn so much while i am there, come back a better person.... My mom keeps saying that i am going to do great, and everyone else asks why? Oh well actually thats a lie, my Grandpa D cant stop saying how much he despises my decision and that i am wasting my life (not surprising if you know him). So far what i do know is i will be in training for the first three months i am there learning the language and other important job related information. After training i have to pass some adequacy tests so i can be assigned a location and be set on my way to start changing the world.
They say this is the hardest job i will ever love, but have any of those kids tried to tutor college football players in Econ.
I cant say that i am scared to go, but more worried that by leaving i will be missing many opportunities and priceless memories with the people i love the most. Really what have i got myself into? We will soon find out.
~ Being scared of the unknown is only wasted effort holding yourself back
