Some New Info...

Well I've finally received my staging packet. I'm almost on my way to Tanzania. Twenty-five days left in fact (September 18th). Twenty Twenty-seven days left in the States. My staging will be held in Philly. At staging, all the other volunteers in my training group will meet up for the first time, fill out paperwork, and begin our orientation into the Peace Corps. Since it's in Philly, it really is pointless for me to fly there. I think my parents are planning on taking me up there themselves on their way to pick up the Delorian in New York.

Right now I'm still pretty excited about everything. I'm sure that once I've unloaded my bags from the car at the hotel I'll be a little timid...But I'm going to F...ing Africa!!! Come on! That's just...Awesome!

I've still got some items to buy and a lot of packing to do. I got my Power of Attorney and most of my finacial business dealt with. I'm still waiting for the scholarship people to get back to me with the deferment forms. I told them about my departure a month ago. It souldn't take this long...sigh...I'm gonna miss everyone!
