I'm not dead!
Hello everyone! Sorry for the long lapse in communication. I kept putting off an update and then there was just so much to catch up on that it felt overwhelming and, well, you know the story..
A brief summary of the last few months..
- My grant is finished and the new supplies that it brought in are being put to good use. School started back up recently and things are going a lot more smoothly than last year.
- New Peace Corps policy: I don't have to teach anymore starting in January. Because my main job as of yet has been team teaching, PC wants us teachers to take a step back and observe classes, making sure that the work we've been doing with local teachers has been successful, and that they are not lost without us. I have mixed feelings about this. I am happy because lord knows there are days when I just don't want to teach, and this will give me an excuse not to. I could see observing classes for 15 hours a week getting really boring, however.. We'll see how that works out. I've still got a few months to figure out all the details..
- I went to China this summer, as most of you know, with my dad and my aunt. It was awesome. You can see pictures on facebook
- Besides teaching, I'm currently working on a couple of secondary projects. One is with a Peace Corps committee called WID/GAD (Women in Development/Gender and Development) which deals with gender issues in country. The other is a project at a local orphanage. I'm sure you will be hearing more about these later.
Those are the basics. After such a long time I realize that this short update just doesn't cut it.. but hey, it's something. And I will work hard to start updating this thing again, even if it's just a few pictures here and there
