Today is the day before I leave. I am not ready. My bags are half way packed and there is still a lot of room left. I have been trying very hard to not bring to many "things" that I don't need. It is also helpful that the weather is always HOT. Summer clothes don't take up too much room. When I get to Majuro on Sunday (I think that it is Sunday, but with the 15 hours of flights and crossing the dateline, I will not know up from down when I get there) I plan to buy a large collection of MooMoos! (I will even have to swim in a MooMoo!)
I uploaded a picture of the island. The black part is the land. In the middle of the island is Majuro Lagoon. When I first arrive I will be living with all 44 other volunteers in the "downtown" area that is made up of the towns of Djarrit, Uliga, and Delap. I think that we will be sleeping in a school gym. (Maybe?) I will stay there for about a month before I move to Ajeltake where I will live with a family. I don't know many details, but am planning to add to my blog weekly.

Make sure you leave me notes. I will be able to check this quicker than my email.
When get chance, you may want to check out the posts at yokwe.net. Suggest search on worldteach, "world teach" and ajeltake.
Keep your doors and windows locked.
I hope your roommates are nice, I wouldn't be able to stand living with that many people. Especially because it sounds like you all stink something awful most of the time. BUCKET SHOWERS?!?! That's archaic. Have fun,
Kyle
