Sweating Like a Chancho

Hello My friends,

So As I said or havn´t said, i live in a little town called Masatepe. Every day I wake up at around 6 in the AM sweating and completely greasy. I have a mosquito net over my bed finally so i don´t contract bonebreaker disease(Dangue Fever). I get up, read a little from my over 1500 pages of peace corps materials until about 7. I proceed to go to the kitchen, say hi to my mother Adilia and take a shower.

Hold on - first let me tell you how luck i am. My house has electricity all the time - I have water in the mornings and in the afternoons - I have my own room which is really nice and grande with my own bed and my own bathroom.

Anyway, after i take a shower, i eat either fruit, which is rediculously tasty - mangos the size of my face, melon and pinapple. Today i had fried eggs, and always drink strong coffee.

I then walk 15 min to the house of a girl in my group, which is where we have our classes. we do silly spanish lessons till noon. I then have to walk home 15 min for lunch - at this time Im Sweating Like a Chancho. When i get back from lunch, still sweating like a chancho, we do more class till 3. After class we walk around the comunity doing exersizes to practice our spanish.

I then go home do homewook and reading, talk with the familia and fall asleap by 10:30.

This is my life as an aspirante = Trainee. The whole time I am sweating Like a Chancho = Pig
