day 34: when sue song starts to lose her cool...

ugh, i'm the worst. last night, i snapped at a bunch of kids because they were roughhousing after the 4th time i told them to please listen. the day before that, i was such a poophead and left a game night at one of the PCT's place early so i could get some work done/sleep. then this afternoon, i used my angry voice at all the other PCTs when people started to get a bit rowdy about our souvenirs. now i just feel terrible because i'm being such a jerk to people and i can't figure out why i've been so short tempered as of late.

le sigh.

on happier news, there was a transportation strike last wednesday so we got the day off to do some work, which meant i spent a lot of time with family and ended up at the pool where the water is freezing. FREEZING. like an iceberg. no joke. it literally hurt to put my feet in, so of course i went in anyway and swam. awesome.

and even better, i'm heading to ANCASH next week!!! we have field based training where we visit current volunteers to see what they're doing and to participate ourselves. i'm so excited, i just might explode from sheer joy. plus, a part of me really really wants to be placed in ancash for my 2 years in peru, predominately because it's freakin gorgeous and quechua is spoken in ancash! but in all honesty, i don't really care too much where i'm placed because i know i'm going to have a freakin blast.

damn, the peace corps is freakin awesome. btw, dear readers, if you happen to not be a PCT, i would highly suggest considering it in your future <3

now, i am about to go to another party in the calle (street) because every other day seems to be a celebration of some patron saint or teacher day or an inauguration or something and the music blasting until 5am just makes you think, "if you can't beat em, join em"

also, mi mama anfitriona is about to put clothes on the dogs because she says it's winter and cold out for them. i'm going to go watch that happen, especially with the big dog (named Stone) who lives on the roof and barks at ppl and other dogs.

chau for now!
