The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Local Medicine, Funeral Customs, and English Lessons. A tragedy has hit my extended local family. My Pahpa’s older brother, residing in Guam, was recently killed in a car accident. My Pahpa has been dispatched to attend the funeral proceedings in Guam, but in the days preceding his departure, my family received many calls from relatives in Guam giving updates. 8220;You have to PAY to put him in the dirt? His mom...

The Adventure I Call My Life: February 2014
http://christypeacecorps.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Friday, February 28, 2014. At the beginning of my service, I used a journal. The practice lasted about three months. What can I say? I have a short attention span. Instead, I started doing “thoughts” pages with just bulleted tidbits from my brain. Recently, I was re-reading some of these gems, and thought I’d share a few with you. Enjoy! I used a towel that hasn’t been washed in over a month. When did I become that guy? I think it is very...

The Adventure I Call My Life. A Peace Corps Journey in Micronesia. Friday, May 02, 2014. COS (Close of Service).

http://miapeacecorps.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Once On This Island. My adventures as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Federated States of Micronesia. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Now that I have fast enough internet, I wanted to post a few videos. This first video is a compilation of lots of quick scenes that I filmed to give you a sense of my daily experience with my host family. (Lots of dancing! The 6th graders perform "Peace Like a River" on the last day of school:. The girls sing "Let It Go" from Frozen. Need a book recommendation? And the first tw...

http://miapeacecorps.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Once On This Island. My adventures as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Federated States of Micronesia. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Wow, it’s been an eventful summer! Most importantly, my dad came to visit Pohnpei in July! He stayed with my host family for the complete experience! It was so much fun to show him around the island. We visited the ancient ruins of Nan Madol (which most of my host family had never been to before! He also took lots of great photos that I stole…. Flying in over Pohnpei:. We had a tr...

Nick in Micronesia: December 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2013 in Review - aka My First and Last Attempt at a Videoblog. Note to self: It's awkward talking to a camera when you're by yourself. Here are some pictures of my most recent project: making coconut oil. Also I threw in a picture of a newphew of mine playing Nerf basketball with me, a countdown to the Microgames, and a bonus picture of Boulder. Good times. Friday, December 20, 2013.

Nick in Micronesia: June 2014
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Sort of. I can feel the start of worrying about my trip back home. It's like a crying baby at the back of an airplane when I'm sitting at the front. I can't faintly hear its annoyance, but I'm able to put on my headphones and rock through the flight. Soon enough though, that baby is going to be screaming and sitting in the seat right next to me. It's only eventual, but for now I'm basking in the ignorant bliss of not thinking about July 30th. How am I basking? I'm also trying to cr...

Nick in Micronesia: 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/06/30-days-has-september-april-june-and.html
Friday, June 20, 2014. 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November. I keep having to sing that song to myself. It reminds me, as it did in school, that June and many other months are too weak to have thirty-one days. It reminds me that somewhere after June there's that dirty month of July, creeping and hiding behind. In a way, the song reminds me of this: use your time wisely Nick. I found myself utterly surprised by two things yesterday. Yea That's basically how my Peace Corps service has gone....
