Nick in Micronesia: December 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2013 in Review - aka My First and Last Attempt at a Videoblog. Note to self: It's awkward talking to a camera when you're by yourself. Here are some pictures of my most recent project: making coconut oil. Also I threw in a picture of a newphew of mine playing Nerf basketball with me, a countdown to the Microgames, and a bonus picture of Boulder. Good times. Friday, December 20, 2013.

Nick in Micronesia: June 2014
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Sort of. I can feel the start of worrying about my trip back home. It's like a crying baby at the back of an airplane when I'm sitting at the front. I can't faintly hear its annoyance, but I'm able to put on my headphones and rock through the flight. Soon enough though, that baby is going to be screaming and sitting in the seat right next to me. It's only eventual, but for now I'm basking in the ignorant bliss of not thinking about July 30th. How am I basking? I'm also trying to cr...

Nick in Micronesia: 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/06/30-days-has-september-april-june-and.html
Friday, June 20, 2014. 30 Days Has September, April, June, and November. I keep having to sing that song to myself. It reminds me, as it did in school, that June and many other months are too weak to have thirty-one days. It reminds me that somewhere after June there's that dirty month of July, creeping and hiding behind. In a way, the song reminds me of this: use your time wisely Nick. I found myself utterly surprised by two things yesterday. Yea That's basically how my Peace Corps service has gone....

Nick in Micronesia: October 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 18, 2013. Time Is Not On My Side. Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 17:54.06 hours. I'm on red what? Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 17:58.33 hours. Yep, that's me. Bum Bim. Bum. Bim. 19:33.22 hours. Then I got the craziest idea in my head after the race. Could I, an extremely WASPy WASP (minus the Protestant), do more with running. Could I, an average runner back in the U.S., be a part of the Micronesian Olympics in July 2014? Will the Olympic torch be a coconut husk on fire? My students hard at work. Subscribe to:...

Nick in Micronesia: Sweat. A Sting Ray. The Final Stretch.
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/03/sweat-sting-ray-final-stretch.html
Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Sweat A Sting Ray. The Final Stretch. Holy (insert your religious person's name here)! How about I blow your mind (By really blowing your mind! I bet you've never been triple parenthesisied before, have you? In all, the next 5 months I hope will be nothing but amazing. School is going great. Secondary projects like coaching are hopping. Job hunting is just about to commence. Sweat to be sweated. It's the Final Stretch. Cue the Final Countdown Song. Wo hai ni men. Http:/ wheresja...

Nick in Micronesia: 90 Days and Airbags
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/05/90-days-and-airbags.html
Friday, May 2, 2014. 90 Days and Airbags. I always thought starting something would be the hardest part. Finishing should easy, right? Well Peace Corps must be like trying to stop a moving bike going 100 miles per hour down a hill. I'm starting to send the signal to my hands to slam on the brakes, but I somewhat feel it might be better to fly over the handle bars and back broken, a new man, into the non-Peace Corps life. 5 Slowly deploying for employment - China is a freshly plucked chicken waiting to be...

Nick in Micronesia: NickH1 Best Week Ever
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2014/07/nickh1-best-week-ever.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. NickH1 Best Week Ever. This will be my last post on Pohnpei. When you say finalizing things like that, it hits you hard. Real hard. So there's that. I'm leaving. Blah. But last week has been amazing. By amazing, I mean golden. By golden, I mean seven golds. 7. SEVEN! But not only that. Call within the next five minutes, and you'll receive three silvers. 3. THAT'S RIGHT! I have had the adventure of a lifetime here on Pohnpei, and nothing can change that. Am I glad I did Peace Corps?

Nick in Micronesia: September 2013
http://nickinmicronesia.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. A sidewalk on Param Island. Probably the most difficult one I've ever had the privilege of walking on. I let a little deaf/mute girl play with my camera for a while. We had a good time. Some people might even call this paradise. Apparently Micronesian women wear head scarves just like Muslim women. Our new Peace Corps Volunteers! The patrol boat that I graced to go fishing with the President of the FSM. Coteacher Dennis looking philosophical. It's Kamwadipw (party) season!
