That Yearly Thing


Peace Corps

I meant to write this post every day for the past two weeks. I have excuses, but I won’t bother writing them. 2011 is over and 2012 is here. I’m not going to suggest that this is the last year we’ll be alive because all that fuss about the Mayans is misinterpreted. They didn’t predict […]

Stepping Forward


Peace Corps

I had a really exciting weekend. After the school dance I got a great package, as I mentioned but I also got some great news. You may remember that I had an advertisement in my old website design asking for donations to a grant I was working on. Well, with the new layout (which no […]

I’d been having issues with the cable for my internet almost since the day I got my high-speed connection. I have this new type of cable internet in town. From […]

Fat Sandwich Dreaming


Peace Corps

Teacher’s Day


Peace Corps

First day back at school after my vacation. The two teachers told me that I didn’t have to teach today. Only one of them informed me it was because of the holiday. I’ll assume the other wanted me to rest after vacation. Works for me. One of those teachers asked if I got married on […]
