Yesterday was my first official day doing one of my real jobs, now that my continuous chunk of language school is over. I’ll be splitting my time between doing PR in the form of writing for and about the different ministries of Youth World, and teaching guitar at some of the ministry sites, and yesterday I spent the day at the office doing a lot of reading and talking to people.
Even by the time I met with Brad last week to go over my black-and-white job description for the first time last week, I had two projects in the works. So yesterday morning I came down to Mundo Juvenil to make some notes and put together some semblance of an idea for a couple of interviews. While I was here planning for my conversation with Ivet about La Red, Casey came in and I got to set up a tentative interview time with Miguel and Boris, two of the guys from Casa Gabriel.
This morning we have a Short-Term Department meeting, and afterward I’ll be heading out to Iglesia Carmen Bajo with Laura so I can get a feel for where I’ll be (not that I’ve had any shortage of time at Carmen Bajo before) and check out the guitars that they have out there. It’ll also be nice to actually know how to get there, since I’ve always been on a bus full of gringos with a driver who knew where he was going for my previous visits.
So basically, this week I’m in the deep end.
