So now things in Las Lagunas are getting pretty routine and boring. I pretty much start my day either going for a run to prep for the half marathon later this month (which I am going to die in) or I convince myself not to run because of some dumb reason and stay in bed until 8am when I get up and go to the lab in my liceo to work. I've taken it upon myself to make my own breakfast in the morning which has been nice to eat oatmeal, cereal and fruit rather than more eggs and viveres. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches never tasted so good. (Still cant wait to move in to my own place.)

In the lab things are getting better even though there is never enough luz to do very much work everyday. I have however been able to clone and fix 12 computers and only have 3 more to figure out. I recently wrote a letter of solicitud to get batteries and fix our inversor which I have sent to the district in Moca and am going to hand deliver to the main office in the capital "Thursday." I say "Thursday" because my project partners first said it would be on Tuesday then Wednesday and now Thursday. I guess thats how it goes. But I feel really annoyed because I am dying to get into the capital and into the PC office to get my mail. I am glad I had Heather bring me half of my mail with lots of cool stuff from my bestie. 

As for the rest of my work, I have been trying to finish up this diagnostic but I still need several surveys to do with the community members. I have already wrote out a draft of my report in spanish and I am beginning on the presentation so I hope by the end of the month to be done with the diagnostic and start working to train teachers. I am nervous to start working but I feel like I need to prove myself somehow and the best thing that I feel I can do is start some classes.

Some good news is that I bought a bike! Its a road bike and its white and ugly but it runs good with its 2 gears and does the work I need it to. I hope to become a better biker soon and maybe get in shape to ride across the country? Laura can ride across the US but shes never ridden across the DR! haha. Doubt that will happen anyway.

I need to do something fun… I am dying staying home and in my site. Traveling soon!
