Nobody puts baby in a corner: Peace Corps swear in

"No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse." Well okay maybe I am crazy maybe im not but one thing is for sure i just can never be like everybody else and for this I am forever defending my self but I have gotten so used to it that I would say im no longer bothered by having to deal with my actions! Well let me explain how peace corps swear in went I wish I could tell u it was all hugs and kisses and rainbows but deff not and by that I mean it was hugely political and really had nothing to do with me as a volunteer because if that was the case I wish it was far less formal and they surprised me with my host family instead of the alternative…. Which went something like this we show up and there is this huge red carpet laid out but were told that’s not for us (that went to the Cambodian gov) then we had to be escorted to the back back door so no one even saw us come in all I could think was walk of shame from a frat house or something where we originally supposed to sit on stage we sat on the floor. We were told we had to sit by province mine happened to be sitting in the front and this is were things went ary for me I wore a dress to this event all the Cambodian people loved it in fact it was my host mom is the one who picked it out for me to wear I spend 2 hrs before leaving my site showing her my different options and because she is an old Cambodian woman I figured if she said it was appropriate no big deal this was not the case I was told that my dress was to short by that I mean my knees were showing and that they did not want me representing peace corps so I had to be removed from the front to the back at this point I wish they just kicked me out but no such luck I stayed and had to deal with this great political event ill be sure to put pics up of my scant -ally clad dress and that of what other people wore so you can judge and compare for ur self because I don’t want you to just take my word for it! Lol and I know half of ur are pissing ur self laughing at me being the one wearing something that is not board shorts and a band tee but see this is why I dress like a boy as soon as I try to be a girl I get asked to leave lmao. The night of celebration was fun it would have been and awesome way to end traning but once again no such luck peace corps had to give us an exter day of training because of scheduling it was 8 in the morning the day after swear in till 5 at night while I realize its info we need so wish we could have had the day off to reflect on training but that’s how life goes all I can say sometimes its good to be considered crazy by society it just means you know your on to something or at least that’s how I like to look at it.
