Meetings...

So, this week has been one full of meetings.  We had our last Spanish class on Monday which was kinda sad, but then it's been meetings the rest of the week.  It has pretty mush been getting up really early, taking a crammed pack bus to our destination, sitting in meetings, eating lunch, sitting through more meetings, riding a crammed pack bus home in the late afternoon/evening, eating dinner, going to sleep...then the same thing the next day.  This week has been exhausting!  That's an understatement.

We were supposed to visit the U.S. Embassy today but they had to rearrange things because the Ambassador had a last minute meeting.  We talked to another guy from the Embassy who was interesting.  We had more security meetings after that and then preparation for swearing-in.  I'm so excited for Monday because then we'll officially be volunteers--woo!  We had to practice the Nicaraguan national anthem and our promise to service in Spanish.  Fortunately, during the ceremony we will have a little cheat sheet for the national anthem, but the promise to service is something we repeat line by line. 

Tomorrow we have more meetings all day and then we will go back to our training towns.  I'm trying to organize a family picture before I leave so I can show everybody what my host family looks like :)  We'll see how that goes!
