Beth O. is a Peace Corps Volunteer who arrived in Moldova at the start of June, 2016. She moved to her host village mid-August and teaches English in a local school with Moldovan counterparts. In many ways, she has a more rural life, a more typical Volunteer experience than I do. She recently shared about a day in her life through the series Call It a Day and I think there are many great insights into rural Moldovan life in this post! ”In Moldova, teachers only have to come to school when they have scheduled lessons. Today, I have to observe another teacher’s first period class, so I drag myself out of bed a bit after 6:30. I have trouble getting up, so I’ve already snoozed my alarm three times.
Before getting out of bed, I usually turn my data on and check my email, Facebook, and messenger. I usually sleep in a nightgown, so as soon as I get out of bed, I throw on some warm leggings, thick socks, and a sweater, as well as my down winter coat and a hat. It’s pretty chilly in my room in the morning, as my house is heated solely with a soba, or wood stove.” Read the full story here.
