This year's most highly anticipated sequel! If you liked "Is It Dengue?!" you'll LOVE its sequel: Is It Dengue: Dengue? Or Nah? NOW PLAYING
My host mom just told me she's going to Liberia tomorrow and I'll have to fend for myself for lunch. Now there's just a dull chant of "fa-la-fel! Fa-La-Fel! FA-LA-FEL!" behind every other thought in my head.
Above it All by Metaphorest
āIn the pale light of midnight I tried to take flight But my wings were too weak and the stars were too bright
So, I waited a week til the winter winds blew Stars were shrouded in clouds and the moon was too
Not a thing alive witnessed my wings unfold As my breath grew quick and my heart grew bold
And soon I was soaring, oh, upwards and on Til the sky was all āround and the ground was gone
And I watched as each object, each person, each place Became one glowing orb spinning slowly in space
And I thought to myself, āthrough the eyes of a bird This life and this Earth seem entirely absurdā
Then I suddenly felt indescribably small And wondered if anything mattered at all
Like what people wished for or what people felt Or whether the ice caps would finally melt
Then, I realized, after an hour or two That things matter, because, they matter to you
Although what you do wonāt change much from up here It can comfort or crush those you find yourself near
This universe may be enormous and strange But look close to home and thereās much you can change
And now that I know it, thatās just what Iāll do Informed and enthused by my new point of view
It seems that such questions as grand as existence Can only be solved from a reasonable distanceā
I just really connected to this today, so hereās some feelings to share with anyone who sees this.
So Jokes
I learned some jokes this weekend in espaƱol. Are you ready? No. But here goes.
Que hace el pez perezoso? Nada.
y
Cual Ɣrbol es el mƔs espantoso? La palma. Por quƩ? El Coco!
Its great because I actually understand these puns and I didnāt think Iād ever understand Spanish well enough to understand puns!

Two Weeks and 6 Thoughts
So, Iāve been in my site for 13 days now. Tomorrow marks my official 2 week mark here, and I have a lot of thoughts.
Pace of life is way different. I mean, they tell you in training that itās going to be so different and to just prepare yourself for it; but, honestly, I didnāt expect this. Iām sure a lot of people have a lot more free time than I have, (another friend just wrote a blog post about how sheās been in her hamock for almost 10 days straight and had one meeting with her counterpart. Like, what?!) but I was still not ready for the amount of free time I have. Even though I was intellectually prepared for this, I was not actually mentally prepared for this.
āIntermediate Midā my ass. Supposedly, I tested at theĀ āIntermediate Midā level for my Spanish. And, supposedly, this is the bare minimum requirement forĀ āsurvival as a PCVā according to the higherups. However, Iāve apparently been missing meetings that my CPĀ ātold me aboutā becuase IĀ ādonāt understand Spanishā and thatās kind of a big deal. I donāt want people to think Iām flakey, and I definitely donāt want them to think Iām blowing them off. I mean, itās kind of up in the air whether or not I was actually told about these meetings tbh. What matters is that Iām not sure I was sufficiently prepared for this, but Iām working through it. Even if it means asking everyone to tell me things twice and speak to me like Iām five.
I have no idea what Iām doing. I seriously donāt. Like, all the TEFL kids be likeĀ āTaught my first class today!ā andĀ āHereās a pic of my school!ā andĀ āI have a schedule and I know where Iām supposed to be at all times!ā But then, Iām over here like,Ā āI drank 10 cups of coffee by myself and hung out with the Adultos Mayores group for a couple hours in the park today and then watched Netflix while answering the phone and translated āteaspoonsā for somebody...ā But, the great thing about PC is that thatās actually considered work. Like, dancing in the park with the senior citizens for two hours counts as work. So, screw you guys with your 9-5 jobs and big paychecks. I get enough to live and I dance in the park for it. I win.
I donāt know if Iām adapting to the culture. The thing with my site is that itās actually almost like a city. Itās not a San JosĆ© or Upala or anything, but itās still pretty big and has a lot of resources. Becuase of this, It feels an awful lot like my training site (San Raf). And, the thing is, other than people speaking a different language, itās not that different from home. I mean, take a stroll down Nolensville Pike and youāll get a sense of what San Jose is like. Iām not weird, Iām not getting stared at for being the new kid, Iām not getting strange questions about Americans, and people tell me all the time about the different cities in the US theyāve visited. I know there has to be some cultural differences that Iām just not seeing right now, but at this point I donāt feel like Iāve had to adapt my ways or my thinking just yet. Which kind of scares the hell out of me because itās got to be coming. So, if itās four months later than expected, itās probably just gearing up to be a real punch in the face instead of a light slap which is terrifying. Maybe Iām in denial.
How do friend? I have made friends in the past. As early as daycare, as recently as training. But, now, in site, I have absolutely no idea how to make friends. Like, Iām not even sure how I made friends in the past. I just know that I have them. I donāt know how long it takes to make friends. I donāt know how to initiate friendship, and I definitely donāt know how to do it in Spanish. So, Iām just gonna have to rely on past experience and hope it happens sometime.
All that being said, overall happiness has increased. I have previously stated that I was on a downward trajectory since Easter and I didnāt know why. This is why I started thatĀ ā100HappyDaysā challenge. I highly doubt the increased happiness is due to this picture challenge, though. I would attribute it to my site placement and the end of training. My site is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. One day Iāll get around to charging my camera battery and taking pictures of this town, becuase yāall need to see it to believe it. The rest of Guanacaste is dry and hot, but my site is green, windy, still hot but not as hot, and mountainous. That plus the end of training has made my mood lift quite a bit. Iām finally in the place Iām going to be for 2 years. Iām finally getting a chance to aclimate to my new life vs. just being on the edge for three months, knowing I wasnāt staying anywhere near where I was living. Itās fantastic. Iām not shitting rainbows or anything, but Iām much more relaxed now, which makes me much more happy.Ā
”Salud!
