My Mommy Made Pork Chops


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!
