Today I had my consultation experience with students. I co-taught with the asian woman in my cluster. Our students were very receptive to our information about career possibilities based the students' personalities. It was actually very encouraging.

Other than that, I'm just trying to catch up on language and figure out what I want to do at site. My cluster has site interviews this Friday. I guess the most important thing for me at this point is access to some type of musical instruments and to be close to other volunteers. My cluster has really become like my family at this point. I really hoped to be placed near them.

Peace Corps is like starting a new life. I have a small amount of contact with people back home, but I can no longer be truly be dependent on them for anything. I have to depend on myself, and people that I hardly know. It's very scary at times, especially coming from someone that has been close with their family for their entire life. But it is a growing experience. If I don't push myself I will never change. I am changing all the time in Peace Corps. In fact, I believe I have changed more in the past month than I did in the entire year before it. It's a very interesting experience.
