Organizing a second secondary project (such as building a well) is always bad for a PCV’s blood pressure. Apparently I didn’t learn this the first time around and spearheaded another secondary project – the university fair. Why is this stressful you may ask? Here’s why. Over a month ago, my sitemate and I created a list of organizations nearby that might be interested in participating. We reached a total of 11 different universities and invited them to come at 8:30am. Ten of them responded affirmatively. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Two of them canceled after we reconfirmed less than a week before the event bringing our total possible down to 8. By 9am (30 minutes AFTER we were hoping to start), 1 university had shown up. ONE! So there we are, Alba, I, 150 students and one university for our university fair. After some frantic phone calling we upped the total to 3 out of the 8 and adverted the crisis. Photo!

With only 5 official days of teaching left in the classroom, I’m starting to get pretty excited!
