Emily's Peace Corps Adventure in the Pacific: August 2011
http://emilyspacificadventure.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
How I think Peace Corps Service will influence my personal and professional aspirations after my service ends. Wow I wrote this in May 2009 - over two years ago - and in 2 months my Peace Corps service is ending. The future is upon me =). My good friend Kanani came out to Ulithi for a visit at the end of July. Her visit happened to coincide with a tropical storm, so we nestled in, watched movies and did puzzles galore! We arrived in Pohnpei in the middle of the night and were whisked away in a van to our...

Emily's Peace Corps Adventure in the Pacific
http://emilyspacificadventure.blogspot.com/2011/04/at-beginning-of-april-i-caught-ship-in.html
At the beginning of April I caught the ship in for a resource trip. The time has been wonderful and refreshing and full of an unexpected adventure to Manila. I made friends, both on Yap and in the PI, and it's been wonderful to reconnect with people. See my new Facebook profile picture for further proof. So, as you may or may not know, this was on my way back from Manila for a "Dental MedEvac" with a broken (well, dislocated and fractured) toe to boot (ha! I know there are many challenges involved in the...

Emily's Peace Corps Adventure in the Pacific: October 2010
http://emilyspacificadventure.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Half Way Through and A New Beginning. One year down in my Peace Corps experience and somehow I'm back at the beginning again. Since I left in July, I've said hello to my new community in Ulithi and goodbye to my old home in Woleai. Both experiences were positive yet challenging in their own ways, and it's been interesting to transition from one island home to another. My local hut on Federai - home sweet home! Inside my hut at night :-). The apple tree we sit under at night to talk story. There were many...

Emily's Peace Corps Adventure in the Pacific: July 2010

If you wait till the last minute. A fellow traveler and friend once told me, "If you wait till the last minute, it'll only take a minute! I'm keeping this in mind as I write this update. As it stands, I've been back on Yap Proper since the last weeks of May - almost two months. And in those two months, I've had three days of training. And so here I am, in the last several minutes (read: days) before I leave on Friday for my new site - Federai, Ulithi. (Said: Fed-er-eye, You-lith-ee). Yap, FM 96943. P)I w...

Emily's Peace Corps Adventure in the Pacific: Along the Path, A Library
http://emilyspacificadventure.blogspot.com/2011/01/along-path-library.html
Along the Path, A Library. Talking to the principle, I decided to close the library for the next week, both as punishment and preparation. What I really needed to do was make sure that the students and I were on the same page - that the school's expecations for the library and appropriate behavior were well-known and aligned with the expecations of the students. The most wonderful feeling of pride and success came one day when I had a staff meeting and had to leave the Library Monitors in charge. Not...

Allow me to catch you up. Oh, how little did I (do I ever? Not only was I blindsided with the news that I'd be leaving in less than a day on a patrol boat with none other than the President of the FSM, but this news was fantastically preceded by an honest-to-goodness boat-load of Cheeze-Its arriving on my island! 8220;Don’t get married and be humble. Oh, and your island may be 60 ft. under water soon. Congratulations! I now have one of the worst track records with the Peace Corps. Twice the Peace Cor...
