Bad news, couldn't get in contact with Obama. Guess this country is still in the shit hole. Sorry, old guy.
The rain has ended...for the time being. This means two things. One, my clothes don't mold. Two, it's really hot again and I sweat profusely in this country. Another thing, there are two types of weather here, hot and rainy. People cancel meetings and classes sometimes because it's too hot or it's raining. Good, now my job has become to change weather patterns. This is not looking good.
Here's the agenda for next week because this week I pretty much laid in my hammock waiting for the rain to end.
But first, the last few days. Today I did laundry and finished Little Bee. I liked it. I recommend it. Feel free to come raid my book selection. I have a lot now, I inherited the book collection from the previous volunteer, about 75 books or so. Some interesting selections, but a few gems too. My plan is to get through my stash first. Started Death and the Penguin today; time for a little humor. I go on and off with my reading. I won't read for a week, probably because someone lent me movies, and then I'll read a few books in a few days. I've never had time to do so much reading; it's definitely a welcomed change.
Okay, back to my agenda. I figure if I write this down for you all to read, okay all 3 or so of you, whatever, I'll have to try to make these things really work, so I don't look like an idiot.
1. Meet with my ADESCO and set up my general assembly (also, prep for my general assembly)
2. Work on gathering resources for my traveling HIV/AIDS committee another volunteer and I are trying to create
3. Go to the school and figure out what's going on with our Library
4. Talk to teachers about teaching at the school (computer classes, life skills lectures, and classroom exchanges)
5. Figure out how to get money for my women's group
Two things I'm excited about. I really like salsa and I always have a fresh batch in my fridge now --it's delicious. I think I'll go eat some now, after I chase Carmelo out of my house, the neighbors puppy, he's a wreck loose. Also, I found a Central American Lonely Planet in my room, "on a shoestring," the one for poor travelers. I'm currently planning a trip to Nicaragua for early next year. If you have any suggestions, shoot them my way.
See ya and sorry this entry was a little sporatic.
Kristina - - I LOVE reading your blog. Good job & keep it up. By the way, just because 5 people have signed up as following you, it doesn't mean more aren't!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've been reading "Little Bee" on my ipod for the last week and I'm really enjoying it.
