So today is our last day of the COS conference - and the last time we will all be together! And by all, I mean the 37 of us who remain of the 56 who arrived all together nearly two years ago. There are many volunteers leaving early (ET'ing)for grad school or other work reasons, and several others who are extending their service, so in reality there are only 23 of us COS'ing when we are supposed to! Crazy.
Today for lunch we had the Ambassador join us, along with the important government officials who presented us with official certificates thanking us for our service. All of the Environment volunteers bought the same fabric to make outfits for today so we were all matchy matchy in green and brown leaf tissue. Cool.
I had my language interview last night with an official evaluator who will give us our 'government' levels in language proficiency. Really, I could care less about my official level, but it is something we all have to do! In thinking back to my first interview, I know my French has gotten much easier but I'm not sure that it has actually improved gramatically - it's very 'villageoise', or of the village variety. Aah, well, I'm glad that is one thing I can check off the COS to-do list!
I'm headed back to post tomorrow! Hope y'all are well. Thanks again to everyone who has supported my service to Mercy Ships, I am still short quite a bit so plan on visiting http://www.mercyships.org/page/outreach/view/crewmates/closek.
You're the greatest. :) Peace, Krissy
