Two week recap (this plus the previous two posts)
I got back from my Close of Service a couple days ago...it was really good to be home.

The way the past two weeks were, starting Monday the 5th (Cinco de Mayo!) I participated in a 2 day training design workshop with Peace Corps. The first day was super nice: coffee fueled but after the first couple hours, we actually got to do work, on a computer. It was so nice to be working on a project, on a computer, doing something that I felt a wee bit qualified to do (I know how to work well with groups and accomplish clearly defined objectives such as the ones we were given). People also commented on my work ethic, which was nice (gosh I sound like a tool, and work ethic might be overstating it: they were like Wow, when just given a bit of direction, you really soar; but it was still nice to be complimented). The second day wasn't as productive but it was still fun. The downside of it all was that it made me waaayyy less excited to teach. It showed me what I'm lacking in terms of personal fulfillment in the job.

So Monday and Tuesday were at that workshop: I taught Wednesday through Friday(and gave tests on Wednesday and Thursday). Saturday I also went to Praia and had lunch at one of the PC staff's houses: it was super nice of her to invite us over. Plus the food was really good.
