Mugeni!

Hey there all!

Well, first week at site has been going pretty well, although I'm far busier than I thought I'd be (and busier than I think a lot of other people in my group are!)... my organisation has a life skills workshop at thestart of next week, and I've been looking through resources to try to find activities for teenage girls. So I've been at the office almost all day every day since Monday! I almost feel like I'm playing hooky! And to continue on the school daze theme, I've been staying on the campus of this girl's high school, in this HUGE guest house. There was a conference for most of this week, and I was joined in the house by all of these women attending the conference, but they've all left, and now I have it all to myself. If it weren't for all the steps in the house, I'd really want a pair of roller skates, just for something to do. I've been reading almost non-stop (and a HUUUUGE thank you goes out to my Mom, Grandparents and sister for sending me books! I've benefitted from them, and now you are all making several other new Peace Corps Volunteers very happy, as PCVs here tend to circulate books... Share the joy!)

There's really not a whole lot to report, I'll have to think of some fun stuff that I did over swearing-in weekend (yes, even with my aversion to meat, I did end up eating more of it in that one night than I have in about 15 years put together! ostrich, crocodile and camel were some of the highlights!)... I want to do the story justice, so I'll save it for another time!
