Yippy!!! I'm 'officially' a PCV
24 August 07 - 14:22
Hello again friends! So, a lot has happened recently here in Moldova (for me at least). On August 16, 2007 I was officially ‘sworn-in’ as a Peace Corps Volunteer. (for those of you keeping track, that means my 2 years of service have officially began).
In preparations for the swearing-in ceremony, the PC staff organized some singing and dancing lessons for those of us interested. At swearing-in, those people would then perform what they rehearsed. Well, as many of you know, I can’t sing, so I decided to do the dance lessons. The dances we learned were traditional Moldovan folk dances. (our accompanist played an accordion). The lessons were quite fun! We all had dance partners and practiced 3-5 times a week for the last 4 weeks of training.
Well, when
it came down to it, they could only have 4 couples ... (more)
