OMG I'm NOT dead ... yet
My dear friends and ... friends (I don't have family with LJ accounts),
I'm still alive. Really. I don't have the internet access, but I am still a functional carbon-based lifeform. And since I've been away from LJ for 6 months: here's a recap:
June:
Meet other PCVs in Philly and we did paperwork and had group activities.
Fly to Azerbaijan via Frankfurt. 27 hours of non-stop travel. Yeah ... bring it (oh it's already been brought-en)
July:
Sweat my metaphorical balls off.
Language class 4 hours a day, 5 days a week (overload!)
Groups activities once a week
August:
Repeat July ... sweat more
September:
Move to Dashkesen
Feel confused and lonely and homesick
October:
Begin to understand class schedule
Teach English
Form clubs I don't know what to do with
Halloween Party
Novemeber:
Teach some more
Work the clubs
Play in the snow
Wait on packages
Thanksgiving Dinner
December:
Keep on teaching
Keep on clubbing
Get sick from playing in lots of snow
Play with packages
Training (= group activities)
Christmas party
And that's what I've been up to. This shit is hard. No, really. Hard. If I had known it was going to be this hard, I probably wouldn't have done this. But now that I'm here, I'm not giving up on it.
Sadly, my internet is not what I would like for it to be. I'll try to post more, but if you'd like regular updates, email me and ask to be added to my mailing list. That's the bestest. You'll hear from me again, hopefully, before another 6 months has passed ... but who knows!
Cheers!
