A New Address!

I finally received an invitation to serve in the Peace Corps! In fact, my prediction about my probable site was 100% accurate.

I mentioned the phone conversation with my Placement Officer in the last post and that she was going to look at my file more and call back about possible placements with me. As with most of my communications with the Peace Corps, that wasn't what happened. I randomly check my email two days after the phone interview and see that my PC account had been updated. I login to find out what's happened and it tells me my invitation has been mailed out! The bad news; it would arrive after I left for PA to help a friend and be an actor in their independant film (while I refuse to see how much of a fool I was, if you want to watch it, it is titled Armageddon Confession). When I got back, I had about four hours to look through my invitation before I had to leave again to go visit my grandparents.

But finally after all that, I finally have time to tell everyone where and what I'll be doing for the next two years. I am invited to serve as a Secondary Science teacher in the East African nation of Tanzania and leaving for staging on September 18th (don't yet know where though). I've got a lot of final paperwork (passport, visa, etc.) to fill out and get sent out before hand. But right now, I'm just excited to finally know!
