Finally a Volunteer

WOOOHOOO!! you are now reading the blog of an official volunteer. Friday we had our ceremonia at the embassy. IT was nice and it was really fun getting all dressed up--forgot what it was like to blow-dry my hair! oh the little things we miss.
I don´t think I ever blogged about my site. I am in Santa Rosa de Copan. It is really big and pretty. The climate if perfect... think spring all year long. GOogle it because it is a tourist place, so i am sure there is a ton of info on it.

i am here in my site now. it was rough to leave everyone. Right when I started feeling really close to everyone we are all seperated. I cried of course.. i am sure that doesn´t surprise anyone. When i got here i had a mini-panic attack because it is just so real now... this is it! no more training wheels...baby bird has been pushed out of the nest and now it is sink or swim time!! God it is kinda scary, but i know it will all be ok.

have had a headache today and yesterday*---i think the fumes in my room are doing it. the fam recently painted and it is a small room so it hasn´t had a chance to air out. need to go to my monthly job meeting now--ttyl

Hey Sis, Congrats on finally becoming a full fleg volunteer. I hope your new family is nice. It was nice of them to paint your room for you. I just hope they used paint without lead. Don't know what kind of regulations they have there. Post pictures of your room, family, job site, etc when you can. I like to see what you have been up to. Love you!! Angela
