updates and post swear in

In America, updating requires you to turn around and type some %^&* on your laptop or desktop. Thus we get awe inspiring updates such as "ate a potato today." This action requires no energy because your  sedintary lifestyle has already left you unable to move from your computer.

In Paraguay  internet is challenging. In my training community  i would need to get on a broke a%^ bus, travel 30 minutes to the closest town and sit in a boiling hot room jimmying with sites and downloads in the hopes that i can download or upload 2 pictures in the 40 minutes i sit there. In my site i will have to bike 1 hr and hopefully encounter a bus which will allow me to take a bike onto it instead of driving by at full spead with a "no bueno" face. Or bike in a different direction for 1.5 hours into the closest town where the internet willl likely laugh in my face when i try to sign on.

Swear in was really fun. Ate out and other than the massive toilet destroying chivivi that ravaged several volunteers including myself, we enjoyed ourselfs and went to a pretty awesome night club. I was also able to download like 28 things, mostly movies so i wont feel cut off from civilization. Ok thats all for now. Ill try to update more but there is the likelyhood my internet access with be once a month maybe so be patient dudes.

Swear In

Swear in weekend pretty much starts tomorrow. Friday, Sat, Sunday and Monday in Asuncion, chilling and having fun. Everyone is super excited. Its like the first weekend of college, graduation weekend, and a going away party all in one and By next Tuesday i will be officially a Peace Corps Volunteer living in my rural site 3 hrs from Asuncion. Thus i will soon have internet much less often which kinda sucks but its life. Please stay in touch and send me emails so i can be reminded that there is more than cows and chickens in world. As always ill try to let you know if there is anything cool that goes on. Jajotopata! - see you later!

Do a Barrel Roll

Do a Barrel Roll! is not something you'd think to do ever in real life, Except when the hoopdy bus you are riding and trying to get off of starts driving off while you are half way off the bus. With the help of years of Starfox and the barrel roll meem i instinctively barrel rolled onto the ground suffering only ripped pants and a deep cut in my finger. After much thought i think the rolling did help me minimize injury or get pulled under or closer to the bus so hoorah for starfox!
