Last week we had our 2nd of 3 language tests.
All last week I made a huge effort to speak only in Wolof and a little French. It helped, I think. It was just very exhausting.
In order to pass PST and become an official volunteer, you need to test into Intermediate-Mid level of language.
Score for Test #2: Intermediate Mid. Yay! Now my language work is just for improvement, but I have adequate language skills to become a PCV.
Speaking of which, my Swear In date is October 16th. If my tests go well, I'll officially start my 2 years of service on that date. This also means only 2 more weeks of rigorous and exhausting training before I move into my permanet site.
Please wish me luck, patience, and endurance. Thanks!
