finally

the last i heard from peace corps was back in december, when they invited me to the ghana program.  i was one of the first in the group.  the earliest they offer invitations is six months out, and i was a full six months out.  

this means i've been waiting for what feels like forever.  well, yesterday, i finally heard from peace corps again!  i'm so glad they didn't forget about me.

staging is the beginning of my time with peace corps.  it will take place in philadelphia, starting june 2.  i will fly out of indianapolis that day...at 6:45am!  oh boy, that's early.  i will arrive in philly around 9, head to my hotel, and meet up with my group there.  for the rest of that day, we will have orientation and training, filling out forms, and signing our lives away.  

then, june 3, we check out of our hotel at 6:00am, load up a bus, and head to a clinic.  we will get shot up with zillions of vaccinations.  at 10:00am we leave for jfk airport to catch the flight leaving at 5:50pm, direct to GHANA.

after an 11 hour flight, we arrive in ghana at 8:00 the following morning.

what a whirlwind!  

my next post, coming soon i promise, is my packing list.  the problem is, i can't remember where i put it...
