After waiting all day for my turn to come, I finally had my
site placement interview just as we finished the afternoon language class. You
know, I think it went pretty well. I interviewed with Gellany, who is the APCD
for the Northern Provinces. Not sure
what his job is exactly, but it includes figuring out where to place volunteers
depending on the need of various schools. We spent about 20 minutes or so
talking about a variety of things. He
asked what I was looking for in a site, what I wanted to teach, what I wanted
to do, what I wanted my living situation to be like (roommates?), and more. I
had spent about six weeks thinking about all this prior to our interview, so I
had a lot to say. I told him that I was
pretty open to placement anywhere, but was really hoping for electricity. I also explained that I was very interested
in infrastructure engineering projects, wanted to explore what was going on in
Mozambique (there is a lot!), and possibly make some international engineering
contacts if at all possible. He seemed
pretty receptive to this, but who knows, maybe he was just humoring me. Either way, I’m excited!
We find out what our sites are on Wednesday, two days from
now. It feels so weird, time has never
moved slower.
