What I know

I've been all but explicitly told that I'm working with street children. What I know is that I'll be working weekends in Olongapo for my internship, with some group that does street education. I just know these broad strokes of details but you should know that I'm very excited. It's just a couple more days til I find out where I'm placed in country. I'm pretty sure it wont be in Baguio. 

It's been raining for a few days now and boy is it inconvenient. Just today I wiped some mold off my camera case, of which wasn't near water (as far as I thought). My duffel bag also suffered a bout of the moldies, it does just slough off thankfully. I'm currently moving more items into my zip-loc bags, I packed for just this situation. Preparation!

I had my hair cut today in town. Cost 50 pesos and I think it turned out pretty nice, just the way I like it. It was done by a friendly man, dressed as a woman. I didn't catch his name but he was friendly and really good at cutting hair. I was a little nervous when he pulled out a regular ole razor blade and started going along the entire edge of my hairline, excluding the front. The widows peak is still there. 

 I have to pack tomorrow for a week in Manila and I'm just hoping everything dries in time for said packing. I'm fairly well trained in laundry doings, but with my crunched schedule I've been only mailing-in my laundering. I just go heavy on the soap and risk losing some layers of skin instead of smelling like an arm-pit, my arm-pit. Anyway, I'll be packing for that.

All week we have been doing life skills training. This concluded in us making life-skills lessons and teaching them to each other in our group. I did "the longest line", went off without a hitch. 

Another week down. I've been here over a month. Looking forward to seeing where I'm going!
