Guess who has internet in her house!?

That's right, the school in my town has internet, and I get it in my house. I'm officially no longer in the Peace Corps. It doesn't matter that there are chickens walking around below my house and most of my neighbors walk around half-clad every day and survive on less than $8 a day, if I have internet in my house, I can't be a real volunteer, right?

So, it's been a LONG time since I've written. I realize that. I apologize to all two of my loyal readers for the embarrassingly long pause between blog posts, but I didn't really think that my mom would mind that much. Since last time I've written, not too much has actually happened in terms of work. I attended a couple seminars and volunteer gatherings (including a Thanksgiving celebration in the brisk Chiriquí--it got as cool as 50 degrees at night!) and then was in site the rest of the time planning a health seminar that I'm going to start giving in January after the holidays. The seminar is going to last ten weeks and touch on nutrition, childhood health, sex ed, cancer, heart attacks, diarrhea and common illnesses in Panamá. There are more things I'd love to talk about, but I'm trying to keep the seminar manageable so that I can conduct a pretest and post test. Wish me luck!

I'll be home for Christmas, getting in on the 22nd and sticking around until the 29th, and I will be bringing canasta home to sell. I have some really lovely, exquisite work to bring home actually for anyone who's interested.

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year! I hope I get to see you when I'm home (whoever you are!) If I don't see you, I wish you the best for the holidays!
