I just found out today that I have had Giardia for the past month (since post visit). My anus hurts. Fortunately, the treatment is really easy: just 4 pills all at once and I am good to go.

Last night I offically swore in as a Peace Corps Volunteer. It was good. Time to take a deep breath. Two more years to go. I go to my village on Sunday, so I am shopping like mad right now to stock up on stuff for my new home.

International calls to/from a Togo cell phone are more expensive than a Ghana cell phone. And what do you know, I have Ghana reception in my village but no Togo reception.

I can't stop sweating.

I will write more tonight. My hour is almost up.
