Apparently it wasn't quite clear what I meant...

An excerpt of a g-chat conversation with Rose:

rose: i love your blog i was laughing hysterically about your bed wetting dream
  haha
  brings back memories of plastic bags over the beds
 me: those were the days.....
8:23 AM rose: so it was tea? still not sure what you were talking about
 me: what?

Patience is a virtue

Arrival in Madagascar: training center to host families and back to training center. Looking forward to the May move-in to my home for the next two years! I've been collecting seeds from interesting plants to start my garden.
So, on May 8th we get to my site; it's beautiful. We get out to look at the house, to see if it's up to PC standards, and there seem to be a few details lacking. No fence. No shower. No bathroom. No one to ask about it. Hmmmm.

New Address (and a little bit about my new site)

Observe the new address to the right -->
We are officially Peace Corps Volunteers now, no longer trainees. We had our swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday (I gave a speech in Malagasy!), and now we are scattering to the winds! I am in Tana right now, but we head out for our "installation" process as soon as I finish this and pack up. It will be one other girl, Jennifer, and I with Ursula, one of the LCFs (languag trainers). They send one of the LCFs because you have to do a bunch of courtesy visits to local authorities, so they send someone who can actually speak the language to facilitate.
