so i just arrived at my sight tuesday. haha i was a little freaked the first night. didnt know anybody. could barely understand them. had no idea what i was going to do. but after a day i realized that everything would come with time and i kinda settled down a little bit.
but my site (for jisi) is amazing and very tranquilo. my day will normally go as follows. wake up at 8 and go to the municipalidad to sit there and drink terere and do nothing because they all talk in guarani and i dont think they do too much anyways haha.
then after about an hour i go to the computer salon and help people out with computer issues and play on the computer until about 11
afterwards i go next door to the justice house where i drink terere outside with my host brother and his friends for two hours. still not sure what happens there but ill figure it out someday. then at about 1 i go home for lunch.
laydown for a little bit because the day has made me tired. then i figure out something to do for an hour or two and then play soccer with some guys. then dinner. and then who knows what comes next!!!! haha
but its good because i need a break after a long 3 months of hardcore training. this life will change though once i start finding more things to do.
BUT already i have done a lot in the past week.
ive met sooo many people. i went to the colegio where i introduced myself to every class and even practiced dancing with the dance class. haha they talked about it on the radio too!
worked in the huerta. garden. with my host dad. talked him about lumbricultura wich is creating a more rich abono (fertilizer) using worms. he seemed really interested and i think we are going to try starting it as a project and im hoping other people which catch and and try it as well. because it really does work amazingly.!!!
then yesterday me and my brother bought some materials and started making glasses and wine glasses out of wine bottles. an awesome project i learned during trainig and was a lot of fun. and of course to celebrate we had to throw a little get together in his backyard and test them out....of course!
last night also i went to my first meeting with the cultural commission. they were talking about how to survive the elections because a new municipaility could be put in place and they want to ensure they it will still recognize them as a commission. i was surprised but actually understand a lot of what they were saying. haha i think it surprised them too. i responded to something someone said and they all stared at me with mouths open because they were not expecting me to make a noise for at least a year i think haha
anyways.....its been the most eventful but chilled week of my life and i cant wait to see whats going to happen...
love you guys, miss you,
charlie
