hey all, i know it has been a ridiculously long time since i have updated here, i havent had easy internet access in a while, but now my friend andre has wireless and network at his house, so i can use this.  so this last week and a half i have been hanging out with two PCV's (Peace corps volunteers) from zobue, joy and angie.  they are my two closest volunteers besides the ones in another country!!  we have been hanging out, cooking, watching movies (A TON OF MOVIES!), wandering, playing cards and just chilling. it is definately the life, but i kinda want the actual work to start.  my portugues has probably decreased because we are all americans, and andre speaks perfect english because he lived in the states for a few years, so i dont know what i am going to do when i have to teach mozambicans in portugues.  i also still dont have a house, i talked with my PC director, and he is trying to talk to my school director.  it is a bit confusing how the chain of command works, but hopefully it will work out soon.  

right now we are trying to figure out what i want to do for my birthday, i dont know if i want to stay here, or go to tete, or who knows what.  i need to figure out if i will be planning for school or if school will have started, or what is going on, because everything is kinda up in the air.  most of you know i dont do that well with free time, and tend to loose all motivation.  i need to be very busy, and then i am set.  i want to be busy, which should happen shortly, but i also want to know when i will be starting to be busy.  i want to know when my free time will end, so i can enjoy it to its fullest, and then start planning.  i dont even know what grade i am teaching, but i think 8th, but possibly 9th.  8th is the human body and all the organ systems.  9th is plants.  i said i didnt want to teach 9th, but i dont know, they might need me to and i might actually have to learn some plants!!  ugh, dont want that, but i guess there are some sacrifices that need to be made as a volunteer!! hahaha.  

it is such a nice day out right now, not raining, so i guess i should get out of my pajamas and maybe accomplish someting today!!  probably not though, it will all depend on if joy angie and andre leave today or tomorrow morning.  it depends on if andre's car gets fixed now or later.

i hope to update this more regularly, in all honesty i just forgot about it!!  whoopsie!

so i dont have much else to say that i didnt in my email, so read that first....but i love mocambique.  it is going to be hard work to master the language in a few weeks, but i am excited about it. time has flown by already, i mean a week ago i was having my first prtuguese lesson, and now i am almost able to understand it! 
so yeah it is beautiful here, it has been rainigng a lot, so i havent been able to see that much, but what can you expect fromt he rainy season!  i want to get out and see more, see the country.  in week 6 we get to go to our placements to meet people and see what it is like, so that is the first real travelling into mocambique for us, which i cant wait for.  all the PCVs tell us that the hardest and longest part is training, and if you can make it through these 10 weeks, we are golden.  i just hope my language improves a little better, but the rate of improvement is really shocking, i am able to understand a lot!  umm....well, that is about all for now, read your email, and i will try to update later!


tchau
