The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Local Medicine, Funeral Customs, and English Lessons. A tragedy has hit my extended local family. My Pahpa’s older brother, residing in Guam, was recently killed in a car accident. My Pahpa has been dispatched to attend the funeral proceedings in Guam, but in the days preceding his departure, my family received many calls from relatives in Guam giving updates. 8220;You have to PAY to put him in the dirt? His mom...

The Adventure I Call My Life: February 2014
http://christypeacecorps.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Friday, February 28, 2014. At the beginning of my service, I used a journal. The practice lasted about three months. What can I say? I have a short attention span. Instead, I started doing “thoughts” pages with just bulleted tidbits from my brain. Recently, I was re-reading some of these gems, and thought I’d share a few with you. Enjoy! I used a towel that hasn’t been washed in over a month. When did I become that guy? I think it is very...

The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Friday, May 02, 2014. COS (Close of Service). Unbelievable as it may seem, I just attended my Close of Service (COS) conference in Chuuk. All of the remaining members of my team, sixteen in total scattered across the FSM and Palau, came together to conclude and celebrate our service. May 2, 2014 at 11:02 PM.

Nick in Micronesia: December 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2013 in Review - aka My First and Last Attempt at a Videoblog. Note to self: It's awkward talking to a camera when you're by yourself. Here are some pictures of my most recent project: making coconut oil. Also I threw in a picture of a newphew of mine playing Nerf basketball with me, a countdown to the Microgames, and a bonus picture of Boulder. Good times. Friday, December 20, 2013.

Nick in Micronesia: June 2014
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Sort of. I can feel the start of worrying about my trip back home. It's like a crying baby at the back of an airplane when I'm sitting at the front. I can't faintly hear its annoyance, but I'm able to put on my headphones and rock through the flight. Soon enough though, that baby is going to be screaming and sitting in the seat right next to me. It's only eventual, but for now I'm basking in the ignorant bliss of not thinking about July 30th. How am I basking? I'm also trying to cr...

Nick in Micronesia: 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/06/30-days-has-september-april-june-and.html
Friday, June 20, 2014. 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November. I keep having to sing that song to myself. It reminds me, as it did in school, that June and many other months are too weak to have thirty-one days. It reminds me that somewhere after June there's that dirty month of July, creeping and hiding behind. In a way, the song reminds me of this: use your time wisely Nick. I found myself utterly surprised by two things yesterday. Yea That's basically how my Peace Corps service has gone....

Nick in Micronesia: October 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 18, 2013. Time Is Not On My Side. Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 17:54.06 hours. I'm on red what? Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 17:58.33 hours. Yep, that's me. Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 19:33.22 hours. Then I got the craziest idea in my head after the race. Could I, an extremely WASPy WASP (minus the Protestant), do more with running. Could I, an average runner back in the U.S., be a part of the Micronesian Olympics in July 2014? Will the Olympic torch be a coconut husk on fire? My students hard at work. Subscribe to:...

Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Sweat A Sting Ray. The Final Stretch. Holy (insert your religious person's name here)! How about I blow your mind (By really blowing your mind! I bet you've never been triple parenthesisied before, have you? In all, the next 5 months I hope will be nothing but amazing. School is going great. Secondary projects like coaching are hopping.
