oh, Peace Corps

Every time I enter the office I tend to get the looks. These looks are often immediately followed by, "what are you doing here?" or, "aren't you supposed to be in America?" Yes, many people in the Peace Corps office tend to think I'm no longer a volunteer because I'm like to work. Peace Corps is great but the best part about it is the hands-off mentality. They train and then they let you go. This is good because the actual office is a mecca of bureaucratic mess. Snafu. Shitshow. Call it what you want, it's never efficient. It's a great office, but seriously, do I have to fill out that many forms and talk to this many people to get a refund for 5 dollars? Jhpiego is nice because less red-tape. I get to do what is needed and it takes less time. I often consider myself a Jhpiego intern over PCV. Oh, Peace Corps, you get me every time.

Again, this time with less feeling.

I've created a new blog. It's on Wordpress. I wonder if I'll keep it. The templates are better there but you can't customize nearly as much. Plus the interface is just awesome here. I guess I created it because I don't really want people reading my old posts. I guess there is nothing to bad. I deleted some old posts recently that were to emotional. It's fun creating something. I almost want to creat multiple blogs just for shits and giggles. I like creating graphic things, even if basically I use other people's templates. I guess I like the design aspect. I do like design. Probably the only reason I like fashion...well that, and the hot models.

One Big Trip

I'm beginning preparations for a long trip around the world. I bought a ticket to Mumbai. I will buy a ticket from India to Hanoi. I will then buy a ticket from Singapore to Auckland. I will then travel from Auckland to USA. Should be amazing. I cannot wait for the trip. Yay! When the trip comes I will post stuff here, I think. Maybe start a new blog?

Things I enjoy: One Man Vs. Everyone Else

I'm International.

Describe international? Use this example: I went to Ultimate Frisbee, threw it around for awhile. It was dandy. Good crowd of Americans, both US and Canadians. It was a good ole time. I then went to check on Thai (I was house sitting for Matt and Renee). Thai was good. I proceeded to get a ride with Jennie (from CIDRZ) to Melissa's Grocery. Then began the walk down Leopard's Hill Road to Crossroads to meet Elena, Maureen, and Victoria. We then got picked up for the Lusaka Hash House Harrier's run. It was a gallant time, filled with running, looking, and thorn bushes. Upon the finish, I drank some beer, mostly Castle, which is unusual (but not that unusual). The Hash is a mostly British thing, with peoples from all over the Commonwealth. It was enjoyable with the end being the closest thing to Monty Python's Bruce's Philosophy Song Skit that I'll ever live to see. The next day, a wonderful Sunday, was greeted with Planet Earth (Sooo, international) and a nice leisure day of Polo at the Italian Corner of the Showgrounds. Just dandy. I drank cold ciders and watched the Polo Ponies run to and fro. All in all a good international weekend (don't forget the Chinese Hotpot for Matty G's Birthday!).
