I haven't been able to move for two days. My legs shake when I try to hold myself up, my head feels like it is being squeezed in a compress. I've over-consumed Advils and Airbornes, forced myself into drinking healthy amounts of water (something I so often don't do around here). I'm sick. I refuse to go see the doctor.

HOW LIVING AT KRUOS VILLAGE IS SORT OF LIKE LEARNING THE CHICKEN DANCE I have been at my service site in Kruos Village for three full weeks now. It’s been nuts – a whole slew of new faces, foods, words, experiences, lessons. I never quite know where I’ll be going, or which classes I’ll be teaching, or who I’ll be meeting. Life is inconsistent as my host community as I figure out just how we’ll best fit together. But there is one thing that has been a constant in my life these

Hi beautiful wonderful people of the world! It's so unlike me to wait so long into my time in a new place to start spitting words (and also, mostly, photos) into the cyber stratosphere, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to synthesize all of the thoughts that have burrowed themselves deep within my brain. These thoughts have begun churning in new and exciting ways with each conversation and each encounter I've had over the past few weeks, which is AWESOME - but also
