Miercoles

Alright it is offically that I have gotten my first illness here but it wasn´t too bad. It´s basically my stomach adjusting to beans twice a day and lots of other foods that I don´t normally eat but it was fine. Monday we got to go visit current PC volunteers that are in the Healthy Schools programs who we will be replacing, ie their close of service is when we swear in! It was exciting to see a real life volunteer and how their life is here. It is very nerve wracking though because we have so little time to learn everything about our new job and take spanish classes and get ready to live on our own. Today I was thinking about it and I´m really excited but also pretty terrified of living on my own completely but it was exciting to see a Volunteers house that wasn´t at all like I pictured. She had painted the walls and decorated and made it seem so homey and bright! It was exciting. We also experienced our first earthquake on Monday while visiting one of the schools. It was pretty exciting but I wasn´t really scared even though we don´t have those in our parts.

And speaking of our parts, I hope I´m doing a good job of representing the east coast... There are so many west coast peeps, I´m just a small town girl but I´m doing good!
Yesterday we had lots of clinics and offical Peace Corps business. Long day but it is nice to see everyone from our group. Every week we get more information and lots of clinics about health and our jobs and such. Then today re started spanish classes. Which is fun. I hope I´m getting better right now I feel like I´m in a bit of a funk this week but I´m sure my skills will get better.

I really love hearing from you guys and it helps to make the transition easier. Life is good, it´s just long days and lots of alone time. It´s all exciting and more news to come in the future! love love love and hasta pronto.
