True or False: All's fair in love and war.

At training we talk about riding the “Peace Corps Rollercoaster” and it’s been a crazy ride this week. There’s a surprise around every corner, just when things are going great you drop and all you can do is hold on for dear life, then all of a sudden when you think it can’t possibly fall any deeper the rollercoaster swoops back up just in time.
Yesterday we found out our site placements and I was definitely prepared for the worst and knew I’d have to make the most of it; I was not prepared to be this absolutely 100% excited! I will be living and working in New Amsterdam in Region 6 Berbice!


We’re in Georgetown now at the counterpart conference; I never thought I’d be so incredibly thankful for a shower and OMG air conditioning! I’m going to New Amsterdam on Saturday and staying at my house until Thursday. I’m so excited there will be other volunteers in walking distance and my counterpart has asked me to teach her to swim, we’re off to a great start.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Cross my heart and kiss my elbow,
Love and peace
