Finally an Update!

Sorry about waiting forever to update the blog, sometimes you just have other stuff to do.
So here's a little picture of what I've been up to since the end of September.
1) I went to Bloemfontein in South Africa the first week of October to get my ankle checked out by a specialist. Turns out, my ankle was fractured after all. It healed well but there is soft tissue issues and just yesterday I finally got the rehab routine for it.
2) When I got back from Bloem I was really really sick because I caught something on the bus on the way to Maseru. It may or may not have been swine flu...my clinic is ridiculous so who knows.
3) I went to Maseru again for a week to attend a workshop and had a great time with the other PCVs.
4) Work is boring and I'm working on talking to 2 of the local primary schools about teaching lifeskills for them.
5) Halloween. Halloween was super fun. I went as a highway (thanks for the idea mom). I had been planning on going as another PCV Tara because we look alot alike. People call me Baby Tara/Little Tara.
6) One of the PCVs I was closest with in Mokhotlong went back to America about 2 weeks ago. Sad for me. In another month, Violeta and I will be the only ones in Mokhotlong until January.
7) They turned the water off in my village for 5 days. Me and my neighbor Kefuoe had no clean dishes by the end of the week that we had to eat bread for dinner lol.
8) We've been having killer lightening storms lately. The lightening is really intense and makes me nervous.
I'm sure a ton more has happened but I'm having a hard time remembering what I did. When I think of something else I'll post another better update.
