First and most effective treatment for social anxiety disorder
So staging is going swimmingly, and the liquid metaphor is very apt. Uncle Sam has given us a generous travel stipend, which has gone towards a libation-heavy menu at a raucous nearby seafood establishment. I’m as tipsy as I’ve been in recent memory. Believe it or not, this is a prudent use of taxpayer dollars. We have very little time to acclimate to our new Peace Corps lives and bond with our new Peace Corps brethren. The alcohol lubricates the social functions which will propel us through the next few weeks of hardcore emotional challenge.
Or, in more situationally appropriate words:
“I only just met you, but I luvs u guys. Yur *hic* kendred spiruts wif me.”
Next time I post will be from Paraguay. See y’all there!

Hey Girly! I couldn’t wait to read your first entry after leaving. I’m thinking of you constantly and so excited for you and what lies ahead. Sounds like you’re off to a GREAT start bonding with your new chums.
We’re heading to Katie’s graduation early tomorrow morning and hope to spend a little time with the newlyweds, too. I’m almost at the end of the old job and begin a new one after the 4th - will be planning, marketing and executing for a new ladies’ luncheon venue here in town. Exciting! That’s about all that’s going on around here.
Keep the reports coming. I want to hear everything! Love you.
