Weekend Update: July 31, 2011


Highs:

Measured cow dung for my org's biogas digester (detailed post to follow). Attended a Peace Corps vs JICA (Japanese equivalent of Peace Corps) softball weekend. Purchased plane tickets for Christmas in the States.
Lows:

I got in a screaming match with Grace and called my organizations "work plan" toilet paper.

What I Did:

Measured poop for my biogas digester, conducted my kickoff weekly lifeskills class, and submitted our schools first monthly report to my organization. I then proceeded to call my organization's workplan 'toilet paper' at our monthly meeting.

What Is On The Agenda:

Weekly life skills, some action items from the monthly meeting, doing some VAC related tasks, continuing to measure poop / design the biogas digester. Pursuing the idea of starting some Village Savings & Loan activities.

Sanity Meter:

Variable. Which appears to be the case for the foreseeable future.

What I'm Reading:

Finished the 5 Love Languages and Devil in the White City.

Devil in the White City was a good read if you like non fiction, The 5 Love Languages was informative, and weird, reminded me of those personality tests you took in college that seemed to know your personality better than you knew yourself. I think I'm going to have to read the revised edition for singles though since most of the book is written in the context of marriage.

Currently reading Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas even though I love the writing I am about sick of the content. The book has mostly been an extended drug trip. Never having had interest in drugs or drug culture I can't really get that into it.
