Ramblings of a Peace Corps Volunteer in Koh Kong, Cambodia.

Ides of March

Where the hell did March come from? Last thing I knew I was gearing up for Christmas, then New Years and we’re already at the last month of teaching in my first year in Peace Corps. (Yea, teaching ends basically in the month of March.) 2011 has, itself, been almost no teaching due to Chinese New Year, testing, IST (in-service training), and the rampant Giardia, Food poisoning, Giardia, Giardia that I’ve been experiencing lately.

With only around three more weeks available, I’m starting the planning stages for my 50th anniversary Peace Corps project, attempting to get in some final grammar points, continue setting up the library and a few other projects, pushing most off until the school year is over. First and foremost is the 50th anniversary project.

Over the next three weeks I’ll be hosting a twice weekly art class giving kids the materials to begin working on a concept for a drawing or mural. At the end of the two weeks we’re going to have the students vote on which is the best and finally, transpose the winner onto the wall of the school. However, I still need to:

A) Tell the School Director

B) Tell the students

C) Get paint

D) Figure out when the hell I’m going to do all of this.

Man I love my time management skills.
