We Passed!

It's official, our entire training group passed their Sesotho exams! So, in just two days, all 23 of us will be sworn in as PCV's.

I didn't think that I did very well on my test, the questions I was asked were things that I didn't have a very big vocabulary in...I was ready and able to talk about and describe my family back home, my living situation in Ha Sole and my host family there and where I was going to live and work in Mafeteng. Instead, the tester asked me about my flight here, my host ntate's job (he does odd jobs here and there, nothing steady really) and how to cook bohobe (bread). Apparently I said enough to get by, though.

This morning Maria, our Associate Peace Corps Director, came by to go through the assignments we will need to work on while at site the next three months. They are designed to help us integrate into the community and identify key resources and possible projects. Later this morning we will go over PC policy and money procedures. Tomorrow I have my one-on-one interview with Maria, Ted (country director) and 'M'e Jimmie to address any issues or concerns I have from site visit.

And that's it, Wednesday I will officially be a Volunteer. Not a bad early 25th birthday present!
