I made it!

Ok so this is not the best time to blog (I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt) But I wanted to put something down since I won't be aloud on the internet again for two months!

So far:
We arrived on Sunday and were taken to a beautiful resort for the begining of our training. Just the first 5 days. We learned all about malaria diarhea, dengue fever, toxic fish etc. and got two big med kits to help us through any problems. The name of the game apparently is call the PC medical officer and then self medicate. Very handy. I got a bunch of shots today and my anti malaria medicine, sidde effects include crazy dreams, paranoia, and maybe depression. I am alittle scared but since I don't have a history of depression I probably won't have any problems. we'll see. We have training all day but there is still tons of time to go swimming and kayaking. It's seriously the most gorgeous place I've ever been though there is rarely el;ectricity, no internet. but it's ok cause I suppose we are gettin our comforts taken away little by little to make it easier.

Training:
Tomorrow we are going to move in with our host families house for training so we won't be with americans anymore and we will have to talk only bislama. A big step after only one week of language training. But I will definitely learn faster this way.

oops gotta go my computer time is up! final note. I am getting a cell in mid november and I will able to blog again too. till then bye bye bye write me letters

LOVE,
Steph
