I´ve been experiencing an interesting phenomenon. Everything here is becoming ordinary. Not that I don´t think Antigua is interesting and beautiful, but I´m definitely getting used to living here. It´s not the best thing, I think, because I don´t want to take my experience for granted. I need to spend more time outside, and definitely more time speaking Spanish.
Hm.
Aside from that, something very out of the ordinary happened today. I was hanging out at the Dreamer Center (the GCP´s main office/school/etc.), waiting for today´s volunteer assignment, and who did I run into but Stacy Schaffer. I find it extraordinary that I encounter Stacy (one of only 19 in my high school graduating class) in Antigua Guatemala when I had only seen her a couple times since high school in North Dakota. Okay, maybe it is not that extraordinary considering the popularity of the God´s Child Project in ND, but I was still quite surprised. Anyway, Stacy is here to volunteer for a few weeks, and that is pretty neat.
Otherwise, what I have been up to lately: On Tuesday I helped sort clothing donations which will go out to communities next week. Wednesday I did that again in the morning and was at Casa Jackson in the afternoon (where we again got a new skinny baby). This morning I got to collect donated veggies again (We had trouble with that. At two of the farms, the boss wasn´t around, so they didn´t give us any. One said to come back in the afternoon, another said come back next week. We only got half the donations we usually get. Hopefully they will be able to collect from that one farm this afternoon.), and this afternoon I will be at Casa Jackson.
That is all for now. I have to run to lunch.
Hasta luego.
