The longer I am in service I realize how much we, as PCV’s,
contort our journey in social media.
Don’t get me wrong some things that we post really do showcase the work
we do. But the honest truth is that our daily thoughts may not be as interesting
or profound as we make them out to be. This post is dedicated to the daily
thoughts of a PCV.
Just killed three flies #lordoftheflies #killinem
9 months in service and I still haven’t shit my pants

Retract that last status #shitmypants
Missing my one true love #chesseplease
I financially support my town post office with how much mail
I send #hoesindifferentareacodes
Two weeks no water? Its cool I didn’t want to shower anyway

Best advice since arriving in country? Never trust a fart

Day 3 since I have left my house #doireallyneedit
Today I watched two seasons of Orange Is The New Black

Its been a week since I shit my pants #onedayatatime
I admit it, sometimes I flirt with the fruit suuk guy to get
a discount on my oranges #ballinonabudget
I love it when people forget my name so they call me
foreigner in the local language #saymyname #saymyname
*For the record I, Andrea Spake, have not yet joined the cool kids club of shitting my pants. But it is a constant fear for many of us PCVs. No one should live a life of fear. I would like to ask you to take a moment of silence for all PCVs who have experienced this tragedy.
