Dang

So once again computers and time have escaped me. So the update. After that last post I fell really ill. My head hurt so bad for like a week so after 3 days of not functioning I ended up in the doctors office. He wanted to admit me but my bosses were coming to visit the next day so I had to get back to my site. They met with the mayor and with my health post we ate lunch with my host mom and then they told me to pack my bags so that I could get checked out by a different doctor in Lima. So hurriedly I packed up and got on a bus to Lima. In lima I got a cat scan and then headed to a neurologist. Turns out everything appears to be fine. He told me it was a migrane but I doubt it. Anyways now it is all gravy I got to see a picture of my brain and the pain went away. So strange. I felt so overwhelmed though in lima so much traffic and technology and options. I got starbucks for the first time in 5 months. It was great so I did it for all the days I was in lima. I went exploring and ran into some old friends. Took second place in a dance contest in a night club but only won condoms. Then I had to go to the most northern department of Peru for a week worth of training. Got to see all the other volunteers play on the beach, tan my stomach, give presentations listen to power points and power points and power points. I learned a bunch got some new ideas remembered about old ideas. Played like a mermaid in the ocean. Learned about aids education and that I would like to have youth health promoters. Afterwards we returned to piura to see another volunteers site. Learned about improved cooking stove repairs, latrines, funding, and early childhood stimulation. It was super refreshing talking with the other volunteers and realizing that I am doing well. I saw a lunar eclipse. It was great. Ate vegetarian for the two weeks lost some more weight. Returned to my site definately missed it and the people. but had a crazy week of work organizing a trash event, starting a recycling program, teaching sex ed, presenting my community diagnostic, etc. I have more to say but not more time. Loves I will try to be better about this but busy...
