Saying it was difficult to hear is an understatement.
During the call I was messaging one of the other volunteers.
I will now transcribe our notes from what we believed to be happening during the call.
- This is the hardest job we will ever love.
- Throwing yourself in is the hardest part.
- It costs a lot of money for us to go.
- Lots of loud noises
- Possibly something about North Korea...
- Few people leave early, a lot stay longer
- Someone named Greg spoke.
- Is this call in English?
- Some list of numbers.
- Echos
- The list might of been the jobs..
- The list might also be the things that will kills us.
- Something about inappropriate touching
- Are we being inappropriately touched? Or are we doing the touching?
- Still confused about the inappropriate touching....
- Bring cameras and laptops
- If you don't bring a camera your a fucking idiot.
- Customs will take that shit if you try to mail it.
- Binoculars for bird watching are suggested
- I hate birds
- Thanks ornithology
- Cash is good
- Being Johnny Cash is better
- Rehab/ Withdraws in Ethiopia would suck
- That might have not had anything to do with the call....
- But is related because of Johnny Cash
- Can't understand more loud noises....
- Something about malaria and having a good time
- Not sure if they are connected
- Hopefully they are not connected
- We get to ride a bus through Ethiopia with all our shit
- That is going to be an experience in its own.
- After PST they will take our shit for us to our final site.
Now this might seem like a decent list of notes. Mind you the call was an hour long.
Also I understood one out of every 15 our so words.
A good amount of this list is most likely incorrect.
I hope they didn't list off things that will kill us.
I am taking this as a welcome to not understanding anything for the next two years.
