What just happened to the last trimester? It seems like just a month or so ago I was finishing my first trimester and getting in some beach time. Now I am back at the hotel where we stay during conferences in Chimoio (the Central hub for us PCVs) and I have no idea where the last few months of my life have gone. Here are some updates about what I’ve been up to lately:
I have mainly stayed in my home town, only traveling down to the city for a birthday and to pick up some meds. And I know that life is starting to be normal for me considering that I haven’t written in my journal since my last vacation.
My roommate traveled down to South Africa to meet her family and go on safari and she brought me back some amazing coffee and a new kitten for our house. He’s super tiny, and I’m convinced that if it were in the states he would still have to stay with his mom. We named him L.O., short for Little One. It’s verrrry cold in Angonia now so he spends most of his time cuddled up with us under our sweatshirts or blankets and he’s really cute. I have been warned though that he needs to be watched carefully since the traditional communities where I live like to eat cats. Guess that explains why I’ve only seen 2 since arriving at site :/
The Third Annual Science Fair at my school took place, see my other blog post.
I am currently attending a conference learning about developing small projects to help develop my community and help with HIV/AIDS. And as always the best part of conferences is the amazing hot showers and great food that they serve at the hotel.
My vacation this time will consist of a meeting and training down in Maputo, with a few days of traveling in Maputo in between. I hope that it will be filled with Thai food and hope to make a quick stop in Namaacha to visit my host mom. I don’t quite know what my plans are yet for my off days. I will be in the land of constant internet access though, so I’ll be sure to keep you updated!!
