I just want to start by saying that blog updates will not be very frequent, but these past few days have been the exception. The retreat villa is very plush...ac and internet...which won't last for much longer.
The weather here is definitely an adjustment. From cold Buffalo to hot and humid Panama my body and hair are not really thrilled. Also we are entering the wet season so it is likely to rain most days. And it isn't your light sprinkle, its downpours with thunder and lightening.
Today we had two interviews, one for language and one for site placement. The placement one was great to talk more about what I want out of the Peace Corps and what sort of expectations I have about my site. The language one was...challenging. But honestly, I did much better than I thought. The staff is great and helpful and really push you to succeed. The staff is amazing and helpful and it feels good to be moving forward after waiting forever to hear from them! One of my goals in Panama is to become conversationally fluent and today marks the first day of my learning spanish adventure!
In order to practice I shall only post in spanish! Just kidding :)
