25 April
The rest of the site visit to Tata went fine. I know I’ll be giving a lot more information about my site and what it has/doesn’t have and all that in the coming weeks and months, so I won’t bore you with any more of my half-baked impressions now. I’m thinking more about what a strange experience this has been. Back in my CBT village now, I really can’t remember where I’m supposed to be anymore. Something has definitely caught up with me in the week since site announcement. You could call it two months of accumulated homesickness, but it’s not exactly that either, because I’m not really homesick. (I didn’t even have a home for months before coming here and I don’t miss the States.) It’s more that I’m feeling like a displaced person. I had just settled into the routine of CBT, and then the site visit threw all that off. I started to feel a little bit settled at my site for a week, and I’m yanked out of there. I’m tired of living out of a suitcase. I’m excited to get to site for real, I think I’m going to love my new host family, but I’m ready to have my own place again.
