Update!

so its been a month living in site. and things have been interesting. as you all may remember i got sick in february, and i got sick again this past week, but not with a bacterial infection, it was.....AND THE WINNER IS....AMOEBAS! dont recommend that at all. not as painful as the bacterial infection but very uncomfortable. now i can say everything is back to normal.

with work: Samra and I are just about done visiting every school in the municipality. Out of the 23 schools, we only have 4 left. after visiting all of them, we are having a meeting with all the directors, and then with all the schools individually to see what the teachers and parents have as a priority with accordance to the schools and what we are able to do. so work will actually be more invigorating and more hands on in the next couple of weeks. Even though our main job as for now is to integrate for the first three months and then when we go back to reconnect we will get the information needed to do projects.

The whole month of May, every weekend, there are welcome parties for all of us new volunteers. The Totonicapan/Solola party is not until the 30th of May, which coincidentally is the same day as Samra's birthday. This next upcoming weekend is the Huehue party!! we'll see how things go!

Can't wait to start projects, and start working, to do activities that inspired us to join the Peace Corps.
