Wow...
How stupid am I? How blonde?
Let's see...a week in, I lost my address book. I feel so horrible. but my mom will be making phone calls to a list of numbers I gave her, and she will be getting everyone's addresses.
Dale, E, Justin...I sent an letter to all of you. I think I got your address right (from memory), cross your fingers. :)
I think I sent it to 2206 cornwall Ave, bellingham, wa 98225
In any case, |I hope you get it. :)
Anyone else who's not called in the next couple days by my mom and want me to have your address...call her at 425.334.5756. Her name's Cyndy. She's really cool.
Life's going well. I'm not eating, but if you saw the food, you wouldn't either. nastiness...I can hardly wait until I'm actually at my site, because then I'll be able to cook my own food, instead of relying on someone else. The stuff to make food isn't bad. It's just the way they put stuff together that ends up not being so good. :( I'm eating way too much bread and rice right now.
It's really hot, but I'm slowly getting used to sweating all day, all night, and all day again. :) C'est la vie en Afrique, n'est-ce pas?
I don't know that I'm actually learning anything in my "training" yet, other than they're really slow to get us really going on anything. We visited a hospital. All I can say is that I hope I don't have to stay in a hospital while I'm hear. It's not so pretty, and smells really bad. They do a pretty good job, but still. let's just hope that one doesn't happen. I think if I actually get sick enough to have to stay in a hospital, they send me to Dakar, Senegal, to the west africa headquarters there. I think, anyways...maybe I should check on that. :)
Other than that, life is great. It's actually still feeling like an extended cultural vacation thing, and that I'll be coming home in a month or so. It doesn't feel right that I won't be home for 2 more years. :( boo.
Anyways, I miss you all. And please write often (since I'll only get about half of the letters...if you write more, I'll actually get more). :)
Love you all...
Jan
