Curiosity often leads to trouble.

We already possess what we seek most fervently May 20, 2010. 8212; coconuth8r @ 8:21 pm. I’ve been busy lately. Really busy and happy and traveling a lot. 12 hours of travel in each direction just to get to the meeting. Less than a full day on the coast and then back to site for just one day&#...

Alpaca Attacka: July 2009
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Ok so that may be old school at this point.but its what we said back in the day of Riverside High School 2000-2004. But the end point is that RHS Students basically rock. Why you might ask? Oh well grab a seat and I will tell you:. Then even more are missing at least 3 or 4 teeth due to tooth extractions- my health post doesn't have the instruments to fill cavities, they just get to be so bad that they take the whole tooth out. I canR...

Alpaca Attacka: September 2009
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Eh, What’s Up Doc? OK, before I get carried away and spill the beans let me give some background to explain the action that got me to where I am now. Yes, this is a last ditch effort to save the dork label, so bear with me. Now, why would I go and do such as thing as chastise my inner 12 year old? That’s a stressful course load. If you don’t believe me track down my study buddies Morgan, Grace, Thomas, and Kenny—j...And 4 big pieces of...

Alpaca Attacka: Lessons Learned
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2010/06/lessons-learned.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Monday, June 7, 2010. 8221; was the general consensus. I was taken aback. Not exactly sure why, I know had I been talking to myself my senior year of high school I would have loved the idea of half days just as much as they did. But now, 6 years after graduation (god that makes me feel old) all I can think of is how much I took for granted what we have in the states. Mr Carter, my 6. Grader wouldn’t have? Not any student I’ve ever seen. What did we do? Ask anyone...

My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Friday, February 12, 2010. Good Run of Bad Luck Turned Around. Then today, the best news possible. The highlight of my week, possibly my month, or maybe even the year: I am in possession to the keys of the future library of Nanchoc. Yes, let me repeat that again: I HAVE THE KEYS TO THE FUTURE LIBRARY OF THE TOWN OF NANCHOC! Well I draw some, paint a little, read Newsweeks that my Mom sent me, and have found myself picking up a few books. And just in case you don&...

Alpaca Attacka: Really. You’re Going to Steal Compost???
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2010/08/really-youre-going-to-steal-compost.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Really. You’re Going to Steal Compost? Maybe it was Beto, the guy who cleans the health post. I yelled over the back wall and asked him if he’d seen my compost, he replied “what is compost? 8221; Guess not. Okay, I needed another train of thought. Who knew about my compost? I yelled over the fence to Don Alejo, the guy who works the tractor, to ask him. Nope, he said he hadn’t seen it. So after channeling my inner 8 year old and telling m...

Alpaca Attacka: MMMMM Bagels
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2010/06/mmmmm-bagels.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Monday, June 7, 2010. Things have been looking up at site. I feel far more productive and happy. I spent the past few weeks trying to figure out why. I have a project that’s goings great (a biohuerto behind the health post), I will build my first cocina mejorada tomorrow (4. But naw, that’s not what’s improved my productivity and made me at times actually giddy. No, I believe I’ve narrowed it down to one of 2 things:. I increased my chocolate intake. That faithfu...

Alpaca Attacka: Vacations Keep us Sane
http://jennyschwartz.blogspot.com/2010/08/vacations-keep-us-sane.html
My Peace Corps Peru Experience 2008-2010. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Vacations Keep us Sane. I don’t know what any Peace Corps volunteer would do without the occasional visit from home. We need the much needed payload of good chocolate, spices, hair ties, and other amazing things from home just to keep our mental health in stable condition. Not to mention the much needed reminder of all things American and a good dose of State side culture. You’re gonna throw punches in the Wolrd Cup? Now that I’ve h...
