Happy 4th!

While I wish I could teleport for a night of s'mores and fireworks on the beach with my family this 4th, I get the next best thing: eating Pumba.  A couple of fellow trainees have dug a hole and a nice pig is roasting in that pit waiting to be eaten pretty soon here...

Tomorrow morning I head back to my host family for a few more days of language training, which I desperately need. New resolution is to really focus on prepping questions before I hang out with them so I can practice of course and also I need to speak as much as possible before my first language exam this Friday.  Each volunteer needs to be at an intermediate level, conversationally competent and also able to converse on a technical basis, before we can start working and right now I feel a long way off hence the self inflicted homework.  But Friday is also the day we all find out where we are going to be working for the next two years!


Happy 4th friends and family!  Hope you have a s'more for me :)
