I'm not sure if this will even make sense...

The other day I came across a Peace Corps ad while flipping through an entertainment magazine my family sent me. It was a photo of a Namibian village (which at first glance I thought was Senegalese) and the PC slogan “Life is calling. How far will you go?” This may sound funny but I think for a while I may have forgotten I am a Peace Corps. Volunteer.
I’ve been here for a little more than four months and I finally feel integrated. I know that I’m a PCV, but living here, making friends, working and having my daily routine has really made my time feel more like time in a new home rather than part of any kind of service. Now that I live here and I’m not moving all over the place I feel settled in and I like it. I remember being back in the States and thinking about how cool the Peace Corps. would be. Sometimes I guess it’s just hard to believe I actually took this huge leap of faith and moved so far from my family and everything I know, but given the choice again I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
This is a short entry and I know I’ve been slacking but I just wanted to let everyone know things are going well! Sometimes it’s a challenge but I like a challenge, so everything is working out just fine.

Some More Books I’ve Read:
Gone With the Wind: A
The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc: B, Pretty damn funny!
Girl, Interrupted: C+, I wasn’t a huge fan but it wasn’t horrible.
My Sister’s Keeper: B+, definitely an interesting and easy read.
The Secret Life of Bees: B+, Good book.
Pride and Prejudice: B, I was really excited to read it and couldn’t really get into it. I wasn’t a huge fan.

I also want the thank Lara and Aunt Joanie again for sending me some AWESOME stuff!!! I love you! Everyone is jealous of how much my family CLEARLY loves me more than theirs love them!!  hehe, Just kidding about that last part but they definitely are jealous of all my goodies!
