Tomorrow I am dropped off at my site...on my own officially. Yesterday we were [the 24 of us] sworn in; and are no longer called PCTs Peace Corps Traineers but official PCVs Peace Corps Volunteers! We shook the ambassador's hand and got a pin and that was that. The afternoon was a chaotically overwhelming - we had two hours to stock a completely empty house for two years. Fun times. It reminded me a bit of grocery shopping duty at Koinonia to be completely honest; keeping in mind a very tight budget and a massive amount of stuff. But I am almost done -- the only thing I have left are things I will buy in my village - straw mats, baskets and chairs.
I'm going to apologize for my lack of picture documentation - I know you miss them and that they would be far more eloquent than my words, but the internet connection here is incredibly slow and is not being cooperative. Secondly, I need to apologize for my lack of communication in the next months. I am not allowed to leave my site until April -- with the exception being that once a month I get to come into town for resupply, for things like rice and bigger bulk type items. So, internet access will be limited to that once a month town visit. But check back every now and then. That's that. Merry Christmas if I don't talk to you before then :)
