i walked almost ten kilometers today, in a lame attempt to hitchhike to my community from the nearby town. apparently people do not really drive around at 9 am on sunday here, they're all in church or on their way there, which means out of my community and not in. the walk started out easy, but as the incline increased, and i started climbing past 1200 meters, it got a little tough. im definitely out of shape, and am in desperate need of a daily workout. however, the walk did give me time to reflect, think, and ponder on how everything is going. i was thinking i may have jumped in too deep for my first two weeks as a volunteer, and maybe i should give myself some space from the work load. you know, ease myself in. and then i realized that i work best in such an environment, high activity, constant occupiededness (having trouble with synonyms lately) , and stress. i like it. and i like that i may have three projects happening at the same time within the first two months of service. i just have to make sure that they don't fail. and i guess that's my greatest fear. that no matter how little or how much i do, that wont end up mattering because the projects will not succeed. but i can't live like that, so for now, ill just keep on truckin, or whatever it is that i do.
