Week 4

The end of this week marks the end of my first month in Peace Corps. It’s pretty hard to believe that things have gone this fast, but I guess that’s just how life goes when you’re having fun. We are progressing through the Mongolian language rapidly, as we should, and we as a training group are also getting a lot closer to one another which has been a lot of fun. On an official note, I have received my official Peace Corps debit card from the Mongolian Xaah Bank (pronounced Hon), from which I will be receiving my salary over the next two years, so that makes me feel pretty legit. Also, I had my first site placement interview with my Health coordinator, so that makes me feel even more legit. Yes, I am actually a Peace Corps Volunteer. : )
