Call from the Recruiter

Ok, so I'm really excited and can't believe that things are in motion so quickly. A lot of you know that I applied to the Peace Corps over winter break and my recruiter told me that he was going to nominate me for a position. He expected that I wouldn't be able to leave until May of next year, however, TODAY, he was able to get me nominated and accepted into a Comm. Development program, in SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA!!! I need to get training in dealing with HIV/AIDS to help with this program as well. Now, the best and most daunting news of all...... ready folks??? I'm supposed to leave in SEPTERMBER OF THIS YEAR!!! I thought I was going to have to wait a year before going, which was fine, but now it's just right around the corner. I'm still in shock. I knew it was really going to happen, but i never thought it would be this quick. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous, but multiply that by 100 and that's how excited I am. I have so many friends from SWOSU that came here from Africa, and I may end up staying in their country. Oh man, you all can't imagine how excited I am right now. So, time to get everything in order. I'm going to Washington DC on May 2nd till May 5th, Lebanon from May 19th till June 20th, Philly motorcycle trip June 25th, Denver for the month of July, possibly Canada, and then back around beginning of August to be with the family ONLY. I have the travel bug, in case you haven't realized it, and I'm about to get anough traveling to last a lifetime!! Dang, I don't know what else to say. I'm attaching a map of the countries that I might serve in. Link to Peace Corps website about Comm. Development:
