It's Sunday and I have a day off…first one in a week! I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, not sure where to go, what to do, who I am…whatever! I met with the other volunteers in my group today and we explored the town a little. I did some shopping as well, and by the end of the excursion, I was completely exhausted. We live in a medium-sized town of about 10,000 people, I believe. There are plenty of places to shop for food and cell phones, but little else within walking distance. At some point I imagine we will have to learn how to take the bus.
The Peace Corps is very, very organized. I am extremely impressed with how smoothly this whole crazy week fell into neat little piles. Imagine, 106 volunteers (the largest group yet!) were greeted, signed in, herded to and fro, fed, introduced, bussed, flown… incredible! My hats off to the fine people the run the organization. Everything is scheduled down to the minute. Even now, as I begin my cultural and language training, my schedule is filled to the brim from Monday -Saturday, 8:30 -5 and after that I will have to study.
So, folks, if I don’t post here often and don't return e-mails right away, know that I am just busy with training.
Night all.
