Jolley Corps: March 2012
http://ljolleypc.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Obligatory Legal Fine Print: This blog is not intended to reflect the policies and opinions of the Peace Corps. Monday, March 26, 2012. Fulbright has made their decision; I’m an alternate. :( :). I don’t know how many alternates there are or how far down on the list I am. I’ve asked, though I don’t know if they’ll tell me. In some ways its worse than getting an outright rejection because then I’d be able to plan better. Back Baby, I'm BACK! I ‘m back in Paraguay and things are going pretty well. However ...

The Long Way Home. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Read an article about me in the Peace Corps on the UCSD Website News Page at:. Http:/ ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/general/02-09PeaceCorps.asp. I got a kitty! His name is Jeeves. He is a little six-week-old, black and white kitten. I have had him a week and already I feel like I am raising a baby. But I have grown so attached to him.

The Long Way Home: Death and Motorcycles
http://jennahouts.blogspot.com/2010/07/death-and-motorcycles.html
The Long Way Home. Monday, July 12, 2010. Two weeks ago I attended my first funeral and saw a dead body for the first time. Since I have been in Paraguay I have heard so many stories about motorcycle wrecks and the resulting deaths of young boys. Although lots of women drive motorcycle I have never personally heard of a woman dying in any of these accidents. I have seen the wounds, scars, burns, and scabs first hand, even on little kids. Elias' body was taken to the cemetery the next morning. Then we...

The Long Way Home. Monday, November 16, 2009. Tropical Climates Aren't So Romantic After All. I was inspired to write this blog after reading my friend Lyn’s blog and her perspective on the heat in Paraguay. She is from Texas. Therefore, we have a major difference of opinion on this subject. Wednesday, November 4, 2009. 8221; “why on earth did I come to Paraguay of all places” is when I am sick. But then I get better and thank god I get to live in the country for a little while.

Everything from the application process to my departure to the time I spend in country. I hope to be able to keep it up! Monday, March 28, 2011. Sometimes they don't mention me or my lack of ability. Sometimes they just sit around talking and telling jokes. Another decision must be made. Do I laugh at the jokes just because everyone else is laughing? What did we say? When I don't laugh I lo...
