greetings. this blog update is brought to you from keetmanshoop, a town about 140 kms from my permanent site in bethanie. i will be representing the dirty south of namibia for the next 2 years, and i'm pretty excited about it. i guess i'm kind of used to representing the south. in the most bad ass way possible.
we are taking an overnight train tonight from keetmans to windhoek (12 hours) and they just informed us there is no sleeper car available. should be interesting. it's also apparently freezing. we'll see how that goes.
i just finished up at my site for one week. i was observing classes and meeting people and just trying to get used to my surroundings. i really think i'm going to like bethanie. it's quiet and small and a little weird, but i think it'll be fun. i hope i don't turn into a crazy person because i will never be interacting with americans. yikes.
when i get back to okahandja i will make it a priority to post some pictures. i have some exciting ones of my future flat and classroom, so it should entertain you all.
also, today is the one month anniversary of me being in the peace corps. haha. it feels like it has been forever and no time at all. i guess that is life.
i am having a blast though so don't you worry about me. i can't wait to start teaching. the kids at the school are GREAT and when i left a girl came up to me and gave me a letter she wrote. it said "you are my best friend". wow.
i love you alllllllllll write to me plus send me your real addresses if i don't have them. i'm serious.
