Can't think today but I swear the passed 2 weeks were eventful. lol.

Hello world!!!
So, I’m entering week 6 of training. There are 10 weeks so that leaves me with about ONLY 4 weeks left. BUT only 2 weeks until I find out where I’ll be for the next 2 years… I’m semi excited and scared about this because I hope I’m with at least some of my favorite people here. Yea, that’s right favorite people here but honestly, I’m pretty much LOVING our entire group. It’s so comforting.
So, I haven’t updated in about 2 weeks. Yea, I’m horrible. Ha. Not much has happened. Yea, that’s a lie. I just keep having a good time, enjoying my time with the other volunteers, and recently really getting some hands on with technical aspects of what my work will be like as a health promoter. You want examples of some things? OK! Haha.

Well, this passed Thursday and Friday we did 2 things. First, we visited a Puesto de Salud and conducted a house visit to a man who was undergoing treatment for tuberculosis. During this process, I remembered my time in Mexico because I had to climb a mountain and almost fall every second of it. Sounds horrible but I enjoy that a lot because once I do it, I feel so accomplished. Even if my visit would have been a disaster, at least I successfully climbed up and down. Haha. Well, luckily I got to feel a bit of both because we got to talk to this man and see his house. It was very much an overall interesting activity. Well the second place and thing we did was at a Centro de Salud. We got to see a little how the process goes in these clinic-like places by observing a session with the obsetrice, nutritionist for the babies, and the nurses who check-in the patients. It was interesting AND I got to see babies. :)

Hmmm...what else? I was in Lima last Saturday again. Ate some ceviche and it was better than my first experience. I have NEVER been a seafood fan so it still isn't my favorite dish. Now, chicken. Haha. But that was fun because we went with a big group of us which is always pretty fun.

I can't think right now but please don't hate me. lol. Love everyone and I'll try and keep you all updated. Hasta luego! <3
