Heeeeeeeeeeeeyyy!

So I feel like I have been kind of neglecting my blog but to be honest it is because I am having such a good time and I haven't had much time to write.

So yesterday I arrived in DC around 8pm after a layover in Chi-town. haha. Thats for Angie. I got to my room and met my roomie who is great and had a short bonding moment before bed. Sadly I am sick so I kept coughing up a storm, I felt really bad but am trying to take every medicine imaginable to combat this cold. I think I am getting better.

Anyways, today we had training where we met with the Peace Corps Director Aaron Williams. Very cool! He was a PC volunteer back in the day and volunteered in the DR! So it was definitely cool to meet and talk to him. Another training highlight was a picture I drew to show a volunteer pooping and vomiting at the same time. I guess this illustrates my humor! It was one of the anxieties I have for my stay in the DR because I do not want to get sick.

After training, a bunch of us went out and had a few drinks to lessen the night before jitters and also to bond and get to know each other better. So far I think everyone is so great and I am so anxious and ready to have so much fun. Not really looking forward to the plane ride tomorrow but I'm ready to be on Quisqueya le Bella!

I am so excited that I am here and I am completely happy about my decision so far. I was also featured in a newspaper article if you are all interested. Here is the link.

See all y'all in the DR! So excited!
