After this week, I am feeling very accomplished. I finished my second week of practicum. Although it was a lot of fun, I am glad it’s over. I also had my Mock Language Proficiency Interview (LPI.) The LPI is a language test we need to pass at the end of training. We got to practice this week during a one-on-one conversation with Peace Corps staff. Naturally, I was really nervous but feel sooo much better about the test now. I was able to hold a conversation for a solid 20 minutes and not freak out. Yay!
I also had my mid-point assessment/interview. The purpose of this is to check in with Peace Corps staff to ensure that we are on track and will qualify for service. And that is exactly where I am : )
On Saturday I got to act like an American 20 something year old and it felt so good. My friends and I stocked up on junk food and watched a movie together. It was so refreshing to have an afternoon to veg out with friends and eat American food (or Thailand’s version of American food.)
I have officially realized that I am horrible at taking pictures. My resolution for the next 5 weeks is to take way more pictures so I will actually have something to post on here.
Miss you all!
Congratulations, Rebecca, especially on the language test!! Wow! I'm really impressed! Good job!!
