Got my laptop power cord from the capital on Wednesday, thus I`ve been too busy watching episodes of Will & Grace to bother writing updates on my life. While there, I also purchased a box of chewy Chips Ahoy which I have torn through at an alarming rate. This has also "eaten" (har har) into my blogging availability.
In real news, currently working on creating a few more surveys for my community. I did all my surveys for the jovenes (high school kids), but still need to talk to individual families about life here in Sabana Alta. But the community diagnostic is coming along. I also start English classes on Tuesday the 29th of this month, which is very exciting. Sign-ups for the class start the 21st. Will keep you all updated about the expected mobs and riots that will obviously erupt due to limited class sizes. (Good thing I have this money belt to keep my personal items safe.)
In other somewhat real news, the Americans have arrived (volunteers from Los Amigos de Las Americas). Two high school boys who have no idea what they are doing. They make me look like a native dominicana. One actually thanked me for being American. I think he´s freaking out a little. I politely pointed out that they are here for 2 months, whilst I am here for 2 years. I`m hoping that gave them a little perspective. I guess I can`t imagine being 17 in a country where nadie speaks English. But seriously, I told them I had Avatar (like, the movie) and I`m pretty sure they wet their pants. Vamos a ver with these two peleles.
