Heeeeeeeeeey Everybody!
I know it's been awhile since I updated my blog, but seriously you guys aren't even following so it doesn't matter. YES, I SAID IT!!
Anyways...I'm sitting at the mall in Wendy's watching the World Cup. uruguay just elminated Korea. Soon the US will take on Ghana...I'm not sure if I should support my country or the last African team in the Cup...hmmm decisions. Who would've ever thought that I'd be this interested in soccer? I think it interests me so much because it gives my Daddy and I something to talk about...lol.
So what have I been up to you ask? Well I went back to San Vicente for 3 weeks of "technical" training. I don't really feel like I learned a lot of technical things, but oh well. I did learn how to make shampoo and I almost burst into laughter when Gabe, a volunteer and the mastermind behind the whole shampoo thing, told my group that "shampoo is shampoo" and that everyone could wash their hair with what we made! Clearly he doesn't know about Black people's hair...better said...he doesnt know about MY hair! We also killed some rabbits at his house and grilled them up. I dont think I will have a rabbit project simply because I'm not willing to kill them. After training it was time to head back to my site. It was really hard to be back the first nite and after talking to my Mommy, I cried like a baby, fell asleep, woke up the next morning and went to the beach with some other volunteers. I stayed at El Espino for two days, dreading going back to my site. So, I went back moved into my new place and have been trying to decide what my next move should be.
Ok, so maybe I'm going to fast. Why was it so hard to be back in site? After spending almost a month with your friends...speaking English...complaining (not too much) about things in site it's really hard to leave them. You know that when you leave you're gonna be alone, you're gonna have to readjust to being back in the middle of nowhere, etc. So THAT, my friends, is why it was so hard to go back. Thankfully God keeps me from going crazy...and things are going well in site. Monday I plan on going to the school to see what I can do there.
I miss you and love you all! Keep me in your prayers so that I won't go loca!
just 6 more months til Xmas break!!!

ReplyDeleteYou know I realized that for me when I am in a new place and am trying to adjust, it's so nice to have people to complain about it too who understand what you are talking about. It makes it a little easier to be able to get all that off of your chest. Funny thing is, I feel lonely here too.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your posts but I am officially following your blog now! :) Love you
