..just getting started!

Pretty or ugly, old or young people: Hello!

Sorry for not pleasuring you with a post yesterday but I was too busy about my orientation training stuff and then afterwards I was just too tired. The last days after my (sorry for that) experience with the Mandt-training on Thursday/Friday consisted of chilling out and relaxing after my first week of service here at L'arche.
Being here is still pretty awesome but now the stress part is about to start. My schedule for the week is stuffed and full of work and appointments but the feeling of being needed and wanted makes it a lot easier for me.
The training to be an assistant someday is moving forward and I am making progress as I finished the van training today. I love the work with the core members but it's really quiet these days because a core member is on "vacation" right now with a different program.
I used the last two days(luckily my days-away) to explore the area around 6th Street a bit and saw a lot of schools, houses, fast food restaurants and more houses. Nothing special about Arlington so far but I haven't been to the Pentagon and government zone yet. This is one of my plans for the upcoming weekend.
My off-days are still scheduled on each Saturday-Sunday but this will change after my training is completed.
Okay this seems to be kinda boring right now but actually it's not. By the way.. the weather is killing me! It is too damn hot outside to just relax and sit on the porch at daytime etc. At night(!) sometimes we have about like 86 degrees(30°C) and it's not cooling down!
Yesterday I went to the local guitar store with Matt and bought a new guitar which is super-awesome! I am still excited about it and spent most of my free time playing guitar yesterday/today.
Also I finally got a phone for the time in the US which I really needed. Here we go!
I'll try to provide you more information in the next days, I am thinking of presenting the core members a bit more. But I don't know if L'arche allows to share information via the internet about them. Let's see!

Have a nice week everybody, miss you so much!
