Well, I did it! Five posts a week for all of February without getting bored of my blog! As long as I'm working at the hostel I think I'll continue posting frequently, and maybe when my parents come I'll let them write a few celebrity posts so you can hear about things from a different perspective.
I'm sure you've noticed that my posts have had various tones behind them, ranging from enthusiastic and content to cheesy and downright cynical. Obviously there are several positive points about San Ignacio and my life here, but also other aspects that I'm getting tired of. I find that often I lack the patience and "different is awesome" attitude that made me love my two years in Mozambique. And worse than that, sometimes I find myself participating in parts of the culture that I would normally not enjoy. The likely source behind my very sarcastic post yesterday was probably not the fact that people here do those things, but rather the fact that sometimes I find myself asking stupid gossip-oriented questions about other people or participating in Facebook threads designed to make my coworkers' exes jealous. There really is nothing else to do here.
So I won't be staying much longer. I've asked for a few days off next week to explore some other places in Misiones Province, and then I'll be working until my parents come. After they leave I've decided to go to Chile (which was my original plan when I quit my job) for a month or so, and then swing back through San Ignacio to say a final farewell and pick up my things. Then on May 14th its back to the US!
