Hello U2 family.
So I am in the Peace Corps and having a hard time right now. I am living in a big city in Eastern Europe, I planned on being in a small town so I am bummed. Life is not interesting being in a big city here, its just very difficult. If I knew I was going to be in a city, I would have stayed home in the US. My main job is teaching English but my students are already advanced speakers so I dont feel that needed either. I would go home but I have made a committment in serving here plus I dont have any sort of job lined up. My main problem is I problem is that I dont know if its worth sticking it out just not to be labled a "quitter" and for a couple incentives that returned volunteers get at the completion of service.
Basically I feel that I could be doing the same thing at home, living an easier life, and feeling more effective and productive.
Any thoughts would be of great help. Thanks.
