Hey all,
This week has been a little crazy, but let me give you all a brief overview. This last weekend a few of the TL8's went with us to the pool which was a great bonding experience and opened my eyes to what the next year might look like for myself and my friends here. So for that shout out to the Breakfast club. Then yesterday (Jan, 8th) I gave my first sudo-lesson to my org and gave out an exam to test their proficiency in English. The results turned out as I thought, gut it also yielded some interesting findings that I plan on using in my future lessons which will be happening every Saturday.
The Protestant church around the corner has also alluded me up to this point since I'm usually to tired to head over and take pictures after work, and I wanted to get this post out. Regardless the church is in major need of repair anyways, so we'll see if I do something with them in the future. The 8-5 work week has kinda grown on me, and makes finding what to do everyday a bit easier, since I have a supervisor. That being the case I am also limited on the scale of my personal projects, since anything outside of work needs to be done solely in my spare time.
Oooooh, we also went to a beach party in Manatuto last Sunday which was pretty baller. I saw the ocean, heard a Timorese band try and cover early 90's-2000's classics so that was cool. The Ocean was beautiful and I feel like we had a really good bonding time as a group. I posted some of the pictures below, but for the most part we just ate by the beach. All in all though the view of the ocean was great, and I learned that my counterparts (and maybe most HCN's) love to take an overabundance of photos together. XD
This week has been good at getting me to look at the next few months and what they will look like with my organisation. It has also made me wonder how things will change over time. Neither of these are bad, but I hope for anyone planning to join the PC you take a step back and realize that 2 years is going to be a long time. I've already seen a few of my friends leave for many different reasons, but don't be upset with yourself if you aren't able to give two years of your life to this task. It's a huge commitment and as much as it's worth it, like most things that are worth it, this commitment is not an easy one.
Sorry to leave you all on a serious note, but I do look forward to sending out these posts whenever I can, they certainly give me a place to reflect on what has been happening. Let me know if any of you have something specific that you'd like to see for the next post, but until then I'll leave you with this!
Much love,
