Since I haven’t written in quite a few days, I thought you
readers would like a review of what I’ve been up to this past week.
Sunday I traveled to Managua so I could go to a training
Monday at 8:30. Ate Subway and use real
internet to watch my favorite show Breaking
Bad.
Monday I went to my old training town Nandasmo to observe a
class by two trainees that landed in Nica March 9th. Then we went to another town I lived in for a
few days called Pio XII. There, I
co-planed with them about market studies so they can teach the material to
their youth groups this week. After a
quick lunch in Masatepe, I did the same thing with a training group in a town
called Niquinohomo. Around 4, I returned
to Managua and picked up Quiznos for dinner and watched the blackhawks. I also took advantage of the internet to
video chat my parents and the Nuechterleins out in their fancy new pad in
Colorado.
Tuesday I had nothing to do in the morning so I laid by the
pool and read The Return of the King in
Spanish. After a delicious double
Whopper, I did one final training with the 2 trainees in San Juan de
Oriente. I passed the evening with some
other volunteers I haven’t seen in forever and watched a great Seinfeld episode
(Jerry dating a Native American and Kramer’s coffee table book about coffee
tables).
Wednesday morning I had my final language interview to
assess my abilities. I don’t feel I did
well, oh well. Bought some pizza hut and
cocktails for dinner and played a Nicaragua based board game created by a
fellow PCV.
Thursday and Friday were similar and included a lot of
presentations about feedback and job stuff.
The main takeaway is the earliest that I’m contractually allowed to
leave Nica is…
…JULY 11th!
That was earlier than I expected.
I plan to take the extra time to visit the Atlantic coast and hopefully
travel south.
Today, 12 of us hung out to celebrate two of our fellow PCVs
that are leaving early for grad school.
We enjoyed a happy hour and are going to head out to dinner soon. Hasta pronto!
