Energetic Start!

Today was the most productive I've been since being in my village! I've been at my site since September. Is it sad that I'm finally having a productive day? Oh well.... regardless, it's a GREAT feeling.

The library is actually starting to look like a library. I can also see where the PCV before me left her mark. She put curtains on the windows and a lot of books were already organized on the bookshelves. But since she's been gone, no one has done anything to the library, so it took on the characteristics of a storage room. But once I got the 50kg bags of maize meal/massive bags of onions/sacks of sugar moved to a corner, box after box of student school supplies bunched together, and pile upon pile of textbooks (outdated and donated from the states) onto bookshelves; the room started looking very "library-esque".

It was a good feeling.

To keep my good energetic mood going, I decided to do some Spring Cleaning in the "condo" and give it a small makeover. After trying to figure out what to do with approximately 30 TIME and Newsweek magazines my friends/family have sent me ; a great thought came to my head. What's the best thing to do w/ a bunch of old magazines with GREAT pictures? Yep...use them as wall decorations. My goal is to see as little white-wall as possible in my "condo" by the time my service is up. I think plastering the walls w/ magazine pictures is a good start.

later....
