beaches. beans. and bucket showers: Homework.
http://peacecorpsheather.blogspot.com/2011/05/homework.html
Thursday, May 5, 2011. Homework in the DR. Hmm…bueno. How do I even start this? There are several things that I could say about the education system in this country; however, I will refrain for the most part. I’m an Education volunteer, for crying out loud, so it’s probably better that I remain on the bright side for now. This does not mean that I am not going to give you a glimpse of the homework system. I can’t think of any. 1 You get your assignment. 2 You take the topic to the nearest internet center.

Thursday, August 19, 2010. B-day/ 3-month IST/ house-warming sopas/ you name it. Sorry it’s been so long! I thought this whole blog thing would get easier with time, but it turns out that I’m slacking more and more the longer that I am away. I will fix this ASAP. So many updates! Here we go…. Had my first birthday in the DR! Also I wanna say it’s the kite-surfing capital of the world? Um…or maybe just the DR. Need to check my Lonely Planet book for that one. If you have questions about this generalizatio...

beaches. beans. and bucket showers: Tribute to Eminem.
http://peacecorpsheather.blogspot.com/2011/10/tribute-to-eminem.html
Sunday, October 2, 2011. Back to reality. Oh there goes gravity. Did I really just quote an Eminem song for my blog? Strange, but I’ll go with it. So here I am! It’s good to be back! About being back. It really has been great. Or at least it’s been easier than I thought it was going to be. Free Geek was so kind to donate 3 laptops to this school that even the Ministry of Education tends to overlook. Lucky for us, Charlie was heading back to his hometown, Portland, so he was able to pick up the comput...

Sunday, September 18, 2011. Some things i've forgotten are.um.different. More to come soon, I’m sure. Anyways, I found this blog that I wrote a while ago…like after I had been here for 13 months (I have now been here for a year and a half…). Thought I’d share it! Maybe it will get people from home (you know who you are) from griping that I never update. :o) Or at least it will make me feel better about procrastinating longer…. The 1-year mark quickly came and went (yikes? 8 Try #2 at the transportación p...

beaches. beans. and bucket showers: July 2011
http://peacecorpsheather.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 23, 2011. Ok, maybe just a quick apology. To Mom: since you’re probably the only one still checking to see if there has been a miracle and I actually posted something on this thing, I am deeply sorry for letting you down. Phew, I feel better. Now on to the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean a general overview of what I’m up to as of late….so “the good stuff” could be an exaggeration. But “stuff” nonetheless. So here go the bulleted points of my current activities:. At the technology cen...

beaches. beans. and bucket showers: April 2011
http://peacecorpsheather.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. So if you haven't already caught on, I have a dog. And he's adorable. I got him about a month ago from the neighbors of another volunteer. He's been loved by me since he was a baby, and I always felt sorry for him because the owners did not treat him very well. His previous life consisted of living in a dark stairwell.all alone.never getting to see the light of day. :o( It broke my heart. Which I had considered, not gonna lie. Well you have an ugly son then! He's been a lot of w...

beaches. beans. and bucket showers: March 2011
http://peacecorpsheather.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. Long time, no see. I swear I'm going to get better at this updating thing if it kills me. As most of you know, last week marked my 1 year anniversary in the Dominican Republic. I can't believe I've been here over a year! And I'm still loving it. Thanks for your prayers and your encouragement through it all. I have no doubt that the next year and 3 months will provide me with more vaina for which to be thankful and, of course, to blog about. Vamos a ver :o). Have a good week!
