The dreaded day came sooner than I anticipated.  I woke up this morning and my first thought was of bacon.  I am currently craving a burger.  Mr. Doyne joked that we were having turkey club sandwiches for lunch too.  Luckily I have my pringles, oreos, and peanut butter to give me a taste of home.  I have become a regular at the store in town.   I am trying not to think about it too much though.  Lunch is the same exact thing every day but breakfast and dinner usually have a little more variety.

School was cancelled today, though I am not one hundred percent sure why.  I guess there was some sort of educational strike or something like in Chicago.  I don't believe it had anything to do with Kopila Valley though.  But now it is another day of keeping busy with the kids.  I am looking forward to spaghetti with tomato/curry sauce for dinner tonight and movie night.

Its been fun to watch the newest volunteer adjust to all of the wildlife.  He's been bombarded by mosquitos and attacked in his room by other critters.  He seems to be taking it all in stride though, like one should.  He's a good guy and it will be good to have him around.  It will be interesting to meet the other volunteers too who are coming at the end of this month.  I can only hope they are as cool as everyone else here has been so far.

For now, just focusing on staying healthy and staying sane.  The former seems to be the bigger challenge.  Apparently three weeks is usually when volunteers get sick and I've only been here for a little over a week.  We'll see how it goes.



Also, I miss pretzels. So much for not thinking about it.
