I don't write about the Peace Corps a whole lot--I try not, anyway, because its an experience I violently wish for but have yet to encounter. I suppose I don't want to jinx myself, either.
For narrative purposes, I have applied for the PC. I have undergone the interview with positive feedback, and today, I found out that my recruiter, in fulfilling the next step of the process, has nominated me to teach ESL in Sub-Saharan Africa. If I am invited to whichever country, I will leave in November.
Let me pause in contemplative silence for a moment.
Okay I'm done--AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so freaking excited!
Okay I'm calm again so I don't jinx myself.
But this is where I wanted to be! I am willing to go anywhere, but Africa has been my goal--this just sounds so amazing to me! I could possibly be living in a hut with no water or bathrooms, and I'm fine with that... the adventure and experience and culural immersion I will get! I want to think positively here. I want to be confident. I want to just experience it!!!
The next step of the process is for me to undergo a very specific physical and other legal type things as my application is reviewed by PC people in DC. I should know by the end of summer/early fall where I stand in the competitive part of the process...
so
I am really really really ELATED! :D
