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...

Mushy thoughts aside, I have been up to plenty things since the last blog post. Improvising is a way of life here, for sure. Much more significantly…I got accepted int...

Where's Janelle?: Beneath the pale moonlight
http://wheresjanelle.blogspot.com/2013/02/beneath-pale-moonlight.html
A blog about my adventures, wherever I may be. Monday, February 4, 2013. Beneath the pale moonlight. Coming back to Pohnpei this time around was less difficult for me in the sense that I have a specific project I want to complete before I am ready to leave for good. I am pleased with the students I have been able to instruct, the teachers I have been able to work with, the connections (both with locals and with mehn wai. That the MHS library will be sustainable. How am I accomplishing this? Along with th...
