I'm a PCV! It has been a crazy few days. Thursday night we had our big dinner all together. One group gave everyone awards. I got most likely to dance (my cluster picked it for me). It then turned into a big dance party. It was a fun mix of Georgian/American dancing. It was funny to watch people dance who aren't use to sober dancing like us Mormons are. After dinner we all went home and finished packing. I don't know where all this stuff came from, or how I got it all here from the states. I haven't been buying anything, and yet there was more stuff. I had a whole bag of just books the PC gave me. Really SO MUCH STUFF. The next day was swearing in day. It was a long day starting at 6 with packing all my stuff down the stairs to the street and waiting for the van to pick us up. A small breakfast at the hub school in Gori and we were off to Tibisi. It was our last
marshrutka ride all together. So we all fell asleep/put in music/didn't talk to each other for most of it. It's the 20 something way.


We had about 20 minutes to get dressed. A lot of girls in one bathroom trying to put on make up. It's always a good time. Everyone looked so good, being in the PC it's easy to forget that once upon a time we were all normal people who put effort into how they looked. I brought a special dress to wear for swear in. I had been saving it the whole time and was really excited about getting to wear it. It's the small things in life. We took some photos (there were so many photos), and were ready to swear in. Two of the G15s got to talk and the US ambassador swore us in. After a dance team did some Georgian dancing for us. Two of my coworkers from Poti and my new host sister came to watch as well as my cluster's host families from Tiniskhidi.
My host sister and I went to Poti on a marshrutka. It was a very long ride, about 5 hours. And now I'm here. We went to the beach last night and watched the sun going down over the water.
