Third Week
My third week in Mongolia has absolutely flown by! Between finding the internet for the first time in 12 days, going to language classes, cross cultural classes, health classes, and hanging out with my host family and fellow Volunteers, I have felt beat all week! I sleep a lot here, mostly because of time zone adjustment and intense language training, but I feel like I could probably sleep 12 hours a day and still be tired. The Volunteers I have talked to say this lasts most of the summer, so I am trying to accept it, but it is definitely hard to get used to. Apparently learning a brand new language takes a toll on you.
