Guyana: Am I really going?

So, my departure for Guyana has been postponed until March 1st. Of course, I was disappointed because I've been waiting for so long, but it turns out to be a good thing. I realized that I was no where ready to go as far as getting stuff together for packing, and then I got sick this past weekend.

The folks at the Municipal Court are letting me stay, but I can only work 20 hours a week as opposed to 30 hours. I'm still working at the gym, but I kinda wish I wasn't doing that now because it takes up my nights and Saturday.

I met this woman who works for the city who went to Guyana twice in the last few years as part of a city project. I met with her last Friday to hear about her experience, and she gave me some pictures to look through. At the end of our chat, she referred me to this other guy who went on the trip, so I have a meeting with him on Monday.

I'm proud to say that I have paid off my credit card and one of my student loans. (Not a huge deal. It was only $400 as compared to my other tens of thousands of dollars in loans.)

If I didn't mention before, Chinyere is playing basketball with the city league. The exciting news is she made the All-Star team in her age group!! She'll get to travel out of town for tournaments as opposed to playing the other teams in the city league. Also, after games I always hear the other parents talking about how well she played and how much she's improving :)
