And so life goes on here for me in the AZ....

A few quick things to keep you updated:

On March 31 my organization closed it’s doors in my city.  They nicely donated a few pieces of furniture for my new home (see note below).  I am currently discussing options with Peace Corps.  Don’t worry!  I do have other places I can work just working out the details. And I have plenty of things to keep me busy

Losing my organization also means that I lost my almost daily access to decent internet.  So, hang tight if you don’t hear from me as often as you are used to.  I am currently staying the evening with a DCID staff member and their apartment has wireless, high speed internet.  (Thanks DCID!!!)

On April 4 I moved into my new digs.  I now live in a small, yet comfortable home. I share the yard and bathroom with the landlady.  The landlady is a spitfire and is quite fun.  The one down side is that my new digs did not have much furniture, but my organization nicely gave me a bed, desk, and a chair. 

Finally, this weekend I head to Kazakhstan for a week to get trained to be a FLEX Pre-Departure Orientation teacher. This summer I will help to facilitate the pre-departure orientation for all the of high-school students from the AZ the will spend next school year in the US through the FLEX program. 

Through the use of this amazing high speed internet, I have uploaded pics....enjoy!  See link below.  Stay in touch ! - Jess
