Next to come...

Well, I can't say I know all too much about what is about to happen. But here's what I do know. I'm off to Philadelphia tomorrow morning far too early, then after a few days of what can only be described as a government sponsored pep rally with a few dozen shots thrown in I'm off to Niger. On my birthday. Either I get a really long birthday or I miss it altogether, I haven't quite figured out that whole international date-line thing yet. The important point to make is that after talking to some wonderful Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (or RPCV's, because everything with these people is an acronym) I found out that while I'm in my 3 months of training there is a very good chance I won't have internet access. So this may be it for a while. Feel free to write me or email me! And pray for me or send be happy vibes, as always. Back to those wonderful RPCV's, I feel a little more confident about what's going to happen next based on the stories they told and the obvious passion they have for the countries in which they served. I hear I'll be eased in relatively slowly to the life of a volunteer, and Nigerien people are warm and lighthearted people who value humor, which of course makes me a happy camper. So until next time friends, whenever that will be, good bye and thank you!

I made a blog!

Well, one week to go and I'm really excited/terrified out of my mind. I'm not too computer savy, so be patient if my blog looks ugly and is boring. But eventually I'll put up pictures of people and redeem myself simply by meeting cool people. So keep reading and write comments (not necessarily to this post, because it's kind of pointless, there was just nothing there so I added this) because comments will make me happy when I'm in Africa not seeing or hearing from anyone I know for extended periods of time. Ok bye!
