Interesting Weekend

We are highly discouraged from having blog titles that say, "sick", "dying", "feel like death", or otherwise. When people blog that stuff the Peace Corps gets nasty emails from parents and loved ones. So let's just say I had an interesting weekend.

I'll go even further. I'm awfully glad I have the best health care right now I will ever have in my life. This weekend I finally got some nasty food poisoning / fecal oral contamination and spent most of the day Sunday/Monday in bed, on a toilet, or over a bucket, and for those of you who read the blog regularly, yes, the same bucket.

I'm feeling fine now and had more support than I could stand the past few days. Here are some updates on what is going on / coming up.

Thursday was supposed to be the day of sight announcements but it has been delayed until Saturday. That happened today and was not well received by the 45 volunteers who have desired that info more than anything else the past 2 months.

Friday I will be presenting on strategies for waste management and also presentin
g on opportunities to advance the practice of Micro-Finance clubs by creating new opportunities for profit. The waste management was required cause thats kind of my field, the micro finance was just an interest of mine that I volunteered for. Other volunteers are mad at me and think I am a dork now. (not in a negative way though, i love the people here and they tolerate me well)

My team won at trivia last week and I am looking forward to picking out questions this week.

Next week I may be out of communication a while as I visit my future site location. I will be sure to take lots of pictures and provide a full update on where I'll be going, what my assignment will be, and what the place is like as soon as I know.

Throwing up in a pit latrine hole is not fun!
