October 18-23 (Belmopan)
Oct 18-20 Last days of our training…. sessions
Oct 21 CBT presentations, cross sector presentations, and talent show (talent show didn’t go that great for me… I had too many pictures to present. It is hard for me to cut out any pictures since I love them all!)
Oct 22 (9-1 pm) SWEARING IN! We became official Peace Corps Volunteers (I was first to receive my certificate… the ambassador shook my hand… messing up the whole order…I was a bit embarrassed.) I got to see my Maya Mopan family again! I was very happy.
(3-4) 1st year vs. 2nd year volunteers football game. I did well. I blocked a shot with my stomach (it stung very badly). However, we lost.
(6-10) The Ambassador House Party! It was beautiful and awesome.
(11-4am) After party… limbo, booty contest (I placed second), and lots of shots! Hehehhe
Things I forgot to mention:
The awards I won on swearing in… Most likely to adopt a pikni (the word child in Creole) in Belize and best photographer (one, two, and three). Also there was a limbo contest, which I lost. However, I did really well in the buns of steel contest (I placed 2nd only because did not dance). I found that contest torturous; but, somehow I did well.
