Despite freezing day and night, wearing multiple layers of clothing, even when sleeping, and having soul-crushing concrete to look at instead of expanses of crystal clear ocean, I might now be a little more satisfied with my assignment. Well, to be truthful, another set of PCVs in the South Pacific helped to sway me. They have put some creative, but brutally frank videos out on this site: <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koUWaAr-itY <br /><br />Or, you can search Facebook, or Youtube for "Pacific Love" <br /><br />They, much like you, are of a creative mind.<br /><br />Between your blog postings and their videos, I have come to think that I might have hit the Peace Corps lottery by being assigned to serve in Macedonia. <br /><br />However, I know that you are writing recently from one of those regularly occurring PC lows which we all experience. I also know that your coping skills are terrific and in the long run, you will be doing a credible job at your site.<br /><br />Now, be creative and get that rat!Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465706612332195566noreply@blogger.com
