Hi.  Found a fast internet connection at the Catholic church, so this is my new hangout when I can get here.  They are working us like dogs.  Only 3 weeks left of training tho.  We are all tired and are ready to be at our sites.  I'm a little trepidatious, but ready to go and determine what I can do.  I have less structure than most everyone else  and have to make my own way.  Most people are assigned to a microfinance institution or a non-governmental organization of some sort to start, I am not.  I kinda like that but it does leave me kinda out there without a net. It's a constant series of adjustments here, but I've done fine so far and will surely continue to do so.  Meanwhile, I have two big presentations coming up. Can you tell I'm a little stressed.  It's normal....we all are.  Here are a few pictures how we blow off steam.....I have reverted to being 24 again and am always shocked when I look in a mirror (when I can find one) and see that I am an old lady.....don't feel like it as you can see in the pix. Okay, they're kicking me out.  Don't forget to post comments. I love it when you do and I know you are out there reading this!  Also, I wonder why some people are having trouble posting their comments (some of you have emailed me saying this).  Do those of you who do comment have a secret that the rest of them don't know? I just hit "reply" and "publish" when I comment. Bye.
