Don't forget to drink your chá

  Sorry I haven't updated my blog. I have been hectic busy from writing lesson plans, site visits, homework, language tests to hanging out with amazing people. We've been so busy just working on being professors and language. Then we got a break for site visits. This is were we can look at daily life of a pcv. My site visit was to xai-xai, it was amazing and I got to stay with an amazingly active and awesome volunteer. She was like superwoman. It was awesome. We went to an orphanage and we all got to spend time with the kids for a good two hours which was nice. We even got to experience sweet bread and cakes from xai-xai. I learned a lot during this visit especially riding in packed Chapas (look up Mozambique chapa if you don't know what it is). I got to see the wonderful ocean. Who would of thought I would miss the beach... But then again being from California I guess we take it or granted. We came back from site visits, and I missed my small town namaacha and realized I want a site like this. Also I missed my family and they missed me too. Especially my nephews which one came running up to me with no pants on yelling mana Telma. ( it's always no pants day at my house with them, it's so cute). A few days later we finally got out batas which is basically our uniform for professors'. It's an awesome lab coat. Pretty dope. Then we had our site interviews. I'm pretty sure my interviewer was laughing at me for the silly things I said like "I would like electricity because I don't like eating in the dark". Which makes sense cause I need to see my dinner and with the bugs here you'd want light too. I had him laughing the whole time. Then, today we finally found out where we will be placed for the next two years and I was put in Vanduzi Manica. I am more than excited it's a site I wanted and I get to be around fellow volunteers from my group. I'm going to miss the people I have gotten close to but it gives me a reason to travel. Other than that everything is awesome my language is actually starting to improve and I'm excited for these next two weeks of training. Soon I will be sent off to Manica for two years. Aghhh so exciting but tempo está passando muito rápido! Can't wait to continue on with this journey.
