goals, goals, goals

Well it’s official.  I’m no longer in the “almost a year” phase.  I have been in Namibia for a year.  Our group is doing our final in-service training workshop before our COS (Completion of Service) Conference next year.  (While it will be nice to not have Peace Corps hijacking our school holidays anymore, we won’t all be together as a group until July of next year which is a bummer.)  This training is all about focusing on our last year (and a few months) of service.  Where are we now and where do we want to be when we COS.  Sarah made some goals.  Have a look see:

- put a greater effort into learning Otjiherero

- spend more time outside of school

- conduct computer  lab/library workshops with the other teachers so that they don’t stop using their resources like they did when the previous volunteer left

- figure out plans for after Peace Corps

- continue to keep contact with friends in Caprivi

- visit the four O’s

- see Victoria Falls

- get healthier

- write in my journal more often

- take more pictures

 

And for those of you reading who like to send me packages, I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with some of my grade 7 learners.  For those that finish the book with me, I am going to throw a small party.  We will watch the movie(s) and eat lots of chocolate.  If you want to send any scrumptious American chocolate my way, feel free! P.O. Box 1198 Otjiwarongo, Namibia.  We will finish the book next term and hopefully the party will be in November.
