Starting my final week in Nicaragua

I can't believe it- I remember the first couple days of my internship, I was thinking, 'this is going to be the longest 9 weeks of my life...' and here we are- in exactly one week I will be in the Managua airport, waiting to catch my flight to Atlanta- so I'm currently experiencing that feeling that there is so much left to do than there is time for! And I find myself already thinking about how I'll be able to get back to Nicaragua in the future. But anyhow, I should probably spend this week focusing on the now and making as much progress as we possibly can!

Later today I am meeting with Keren, from JFR (the organization which sent me down here) in order to discuss accomplishments of my internship and direction for where they can go in the future. I'm nervous. I'm nervous because I've done my absolute best that I think I was capable of while I've been here- and I have that inner fear that maybe my best isn't good enough- I hope that when she looks at what I've accomplished, she sees progress, she sees potential in the pharmacy for the future. I guess we'll find out soon enough what she thinks of my work with the pharmacy.

So I completed my report for her at 1 AM this morning- (rough) and then watched Joan of Arcadia before going to bed (thats my like all-time favorite show-- its a horrible shame that there were only 2 seasons of it--but if you have time and want to change your life by means of television shows- all episodes are posted on youtube- each episode is broken into 5 parts). Anyhow I am now mentally preparing by laying on my bed listening to the youtube playlist of Tenth Avenue North (they're my latest obsession- again: check them out!). I also painted my nails- so yeah- I'm pretty in the zone.

I'm actually going to go eat lunch and then look over my report- but I wanted to make a quick comment amount transportation here: yesterday- I was in a 15 passenger van- myself and 28 other individuals were actually in said van...riding about 50 miles to Jinotepe- talk about an uncomfortable transportation situation- that was a super human feat! And, I also road in a bike taxi!--thats when a bike is attached to this seat cart thing and they ride people to their destinations- so my transportation experience is really growing!

Okay I must be off, but I will be sure to check in with how the meeting went!
