We all swear-in in three days.  Finally!!  I'm definitely ready to get to my site & start living on my own & establishing a routine.  I will be living in Eastern Guatemala, where the climate will be alot warmer than where I am living now, in W. Guatemala.  Although there are a couple of hours there in the afternoon where you just want to sit inside & not move, the mornings and nights are gorgeous.  The plants and trees are also very tropical.  I will be very close to the El Salvadorian border and only about an hour and a half from beautiful beaches with great warm water!  I went out to my site about 2 weeks ago to arrange things, and I have an apt. all ready that I will be moving into.  It will be nice to be living out of more than one room, where I have been staying with a host family for the past 2 1/2 months.  I will be able to prepare my own food, as well.  Another luxury I am looking forward to :)
We just did Spanish level tests today, which they tape recorded!  Not so fun, but I did jump a level in Spanish.  Other than that, we are just finalizing things before our move out to site.  We will be moving there the day after swearing-in.  If anybody wants to know the specific town where I will be living, they can email me & I will tell you so you can look it up on the map.  I am not listing it here b/c this is a publicly accessible blog.
Miss you all very much.  Please send emails!  Also, I would love it if somebody could send me some People or US Weekly or other gossipy mags :)
