This is just a blog post just to let everyone know
that I’m alive. PST keeps going and I’m still getting through it all. The
highlights of this past week include the banging food that my mom makes me. She
made pork chops a couple of days ago. For those of you who don’t know, I love
pork in all its forms and pork chops are pretty much my favorite food. So not
only did she make pork chops, but they were delicious pork chops. It was the
most delicious thing I’ve had in Panama thus far, and that’s saying something,
because my host mom is pretty much the best cook in Panama Oeste.
Also, all of us Volunteers (TE, at least) are
starting to get a little antsy to find out about our site placements. We’ve had
our site placement interviews already, and word on the street is that the program coordinators know our placements already. . .they just won’t tell us
anything until April 5th. There’s also some bochinche about how many
sites are in certain provinces, but until April 5th, all we can do
is spread bochinche and speculate.
Other than that, nothing too much to report. Life is
super good in Santa Rita, and at the same time I realized that I have never
been so spoiled in my life. For the last four weeks straight somebody has actually
been making sure I eat and that I do my laundry (whaaaat??). The next couple of
weeks should be interesting (Tech Week, where we get to present in front of an
actual Panamanian classroom and finding out site placements, aka where we’ll be
living for the next two years), so look out for that. Until then, I’ll be in
touch!
