Finally....

So here goes. Damn. I've been meaning to practice congugating verbs (yes, I am THAT much of a nerd) but everytime I get on the computer I find something else to do. Like the Facebook group that all the other PCVs have joined. While not usually drawn in to the gossip and photos of drunken rondevus (sound it out) so graciously posted by people I long ago should have forgotten, I have been spending quite a bit of time checking the page. Enough said. Obviously no verbs are happening while I try to remember how to spell french words in the English language.

Anyway, I have spent the last week scrambling around doing lots of things without doing anything. Like in my swimming dreams when I'm trying to get behind the block but keep getting distracted by the muffin vendor or fall asleep behind my block before my heat. I wish I didn't have those still. I got my hair chopped off. 8 inches. oops. no more pony tails. I handed out my pottery to those who had made orders before portland. I spent way to much time seeing if I can more effectively cram my underwear into my hiking boots in the name of space conservation. And I've gotten to spend some quality time with my fam. and friends (utah friends only...bummer, colo.) I've so enjoyed seeing those of you I could.

I will miss you all so much! Please keep me posted on all that you're doing. I will try to write frequently, but who knows if I will have access to a PC or internet, or if I will have time. One returned PCV described training as a "bitter piece of hell" and I've heard they keep you busy... After the last couple of months it should be a real nice change. So... If you don't hear from me don't worry! But I'll try!
