So...... This is a quick summary of the last two months.
Last time I left off I was busy with my language studies, living with my host family, and working on a community project for my village. Well, the language stuff went good. I passed, which means I am a Novice High in Bulgarian. I know what you are thinking, HIGH. Yeah thats what I thought too until I found out that Novice High is the lowest you could get yet still become a volunteer. The people in my group were way better. Living with my host family was fantastic. I could not of asked for a better host family. As for the project, we worked together with the school children to put up Educational and funny signs up on a Eco Trail. This was an awesome project that we embarked on.
I was sworn in as an official volunteer for the United States government. I even got to say the oath of office (the one the president says...... As well as every other government employee). I then headed to my permit site in the North Central part of Bulgaria, Belene.
Thats it for now, I will update you guys and gals as the days go on about work and Belene.
