Alright, this is my first post on my first blog, so bear with me. It's all still pretty novel. Looks like I'm all set (on paper) to leave for Lesotho come October 12. I've still got some gear to buy (sorta fun), a new language, Sesotho, to learn (also fun, but a little frustrating), and legal matters, e.g. power of attorney, student loans, to get settled (not fun at all).
This adventure has been a long time coming. I've been mentioning Peace Corps to friends and family for a couple years and especially for the past year as my application pieces slowly fell in to place. For the most part the experience has been one of emails, faxes, medical checkups, and pictures of faraway places. Now September will be my last full month Stateside and I'm beginning to get things like detailed itineraries for the first week in-country. So far I've found myself more excited then apprehensive, even as the reality of this comes into focus. I have no regrets so far, and plan to have none in the next 27 months!
I'm sure I'll have much more interesting stuff to relate here as it get closer to my beginning of service and especially during. For now, stay tuned!
