I leave in exactly two weeks so I thought this would be a good time to get this blog thing rolling. The primary goal of this blog is to keep everyone updated on what’s going on in my life in El Salvador as a Peace Corps trainee/volunteer. First in foremost I feel the urge to make it known that:
1. Grammar is on vacation therefore expect to find mistakes
2. I will write some words/phrases in Spanish without realizing it and expect you to understand
3. Sometimes I will write about absolutely nothing
4. Comments are welcomed and much appreciated
So, now that that’s out of the way…JUST TWO WEEKS LEFT! *hyperventilating*
My upcoming trip has completely taken over my life. I had completely forgotten about my birthday until Yemi suggested that we meet up on Thursday. This is how the conversation went
Yem: so when am I gonna see you before you leave?
Me: ummm…you tell me when you’re free because I’m free everyday
Yem: how about Thursday?
Me: Thursday’s fine. Hmmm…Thursday…Thursday…what is that? Hmmm…I think that’s my birthday. Yea it is…Ok that works!
Anyhoo…during these last 2 weeks I plan to spend time with family and friends, pack and then repack my suitcases. I did a trial run with my luggage and let’s just say that I am going to die if I have to climb one mountain! Ok, I have a huge duffel bag and an equally large suitcase that I will check in (I’m praying that they’ll weigh under 80lbs) and my backpack and a computer bag as carry-ons. My check-in luggage exceeds the limit (107’’) set by the airline and the PC (Peace Corps) so I might have to pay extra. Now, the PC says that we can bring as much luggage as we want so long as we can carry it. I’m wondering what they’d do if I can’t carry my luggage. Are they just gonna leave me on the side of a road with 100lb of luggage? I doubt it! Therefore, I’m not gonna worry too much about it, but I will make sure to take only the necessities…i.e. hair supplies and baby wipes (thanks Daisy).
Ok…I think the next post will be a week before I leave or maybe once I’m in D.C.
¡Hasta pronto!
