I can't believe it's almost here.
In almost exactly 24 hours.I will be boarding a plane for Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love, to join the Peace Corps/Zambia! There I will be spending a little over 24hrs in pre-service Staging with 35 other soon-to-be Peace Corps trainees before catching a flight out of JFK on Wednesday bound for Johannesburg, South Africa. After what I'm sure will be a lovely 14-15 hour flight half way across the world, we will then all board a flight finally bound for Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.
Getting to this point of departure has been a year long process. I filled out and sent in my application during my winter break of 2010-2011; Interviewed the week before Spring Break; was nominated for service the week before my college graduation in May and after much prolonged waiting was invited to join the week following Thanksgiving.
And so, after a year of waiting and fine-tuning my patience skills, I am finally just hours away from departing what I'm sure will be a great life-changing adventure. I honestly have no idea what life has in store for me in these next two years, but I hope you readers, my friends and family, will come along with me for the ride. :)
