Election day


Today was election day in Boghe and i voted!! Our country director realized how the majority of our absentee ballots would never get here in time, let alone be returned, and so he set up for a peace corps car to go around to all the regional capitals over the next few days with write in ballots that he will send in a diplomat pouch to washington... im so excited that my vote will be there in time!!! i wrote out clear and bold so there would be no mistake- Barack Obama.
on a side note, school did not start today, even though it was supposed to. most school directors havent showed up and the teachers havent arrived. the peace corps english teacher here in boghe showed up for work and they didnt even have a schedule for her let alone a class to teach on the first day. so things arnt looking too great for me to start my center on time. i cant do applications until the girls are at school so until then im still just hanging around, trying not to be too bored and be semi productive. pretty impossible....
