Now a PCV!

So I am currently at my regional capital, where my bank and access to internet is, and shortly I will be heading out to my site for realseys. This post is mostly info because I don't have a lot of time. Here goes:
- I am now officially a PCV and brother in service to my AmeriCorps sister.
- I met the US ambassador
- A lot of people have been asking about my internet access, I don't think that I will have it at my site but I will definitely have it when I come into the regional capital every couple of weeks. I will have internet at my site so I can write posts and then quickly publish them. Thus, communication on my end should be better even though I won't have internet.
- The old one still works, but my new address is as follows:
Zach Swank, PCV
Corps de la Paix
BP 17
Bohge, Mauritania
West Africa
- I should be back relatively soon as I have not been able to get to the bank today so I am low on cash, probably in less than a week.
- Pulaar is coming along, I tested at intermediate mid on a scale of (novice > intermediate > advanced > superior). I can use it for basic conversations but need much more practice to make it actually useful for my work.
- Pictures are coming soon I promise! Everyone shared one connection at center and uploading pictures was just not possible
- As always packages are met with ridiculous amounts of joy. In addition to everything on the previous post, books I should read, spices, and various kinds of tea would all be much appreciated.
- I have been getting a lot of letters and I promise I will be writing back. Life has been pretty crazy these last few months and I had less control over my time than I have had since middle school. Also Ramadan should ensure that I have plenty of time to write. Please send more.
- Some things I am very much excited about: having my own place, having control of my time, not having to move again, the hammock I made, making my own tea without sugar, working on my Pulaar, starting to make connections for my work. The biggest thing though is having control over how I spend my time.
- Speaking of my place. As of this moment, my roommate is in Senegal (i think) so it looks like I will be crashing somewhere else for a couple of days. Alaa cadelle (no problem)
