Once there was, Once there was not.... The Azerbaijani version of Once Upon a Time.
So things are moving right along here. Azerbaijan got it's 1st snowfall, and as someone from the NorthEast I am ashamed to say I have never felt cold like this before. At night I can see my breath, and we wear like 6 layers of clothes to school.
On This Thursday (10th) we get our permanent site placements! Cannot wait! We will continue with training until December 10th and then we will head to our new sites and new host families. I am so looking forward to this, especially as it will mean we are real Peace Corps volunteers. I am not looking forward to leaving my host family. I have grown really close with them and it will be difficult, especially right before Christmas.
Our language learning is moving along. The Azeri language is very difficult, but we're learning the best we can. Our training is broken into two language oral exams (lpi's) that we must reach certain levels on, in order to pass through to becoming a volunteer. We had our mid-lpi last week and my results were good, so I'm pleased. Some days feel like great progress, and then others feel backwards. One step forward, two steps back. Little victories they say lol.
I will update everyone soon when have my Site Placement Announcement. Miss everyone. Send letters!
