You should check out my blog. Those are six words that I hoped that I would never have to say or write. But here we are. I'm not against people who have blogs, but I feel that the only people who have them are either depressed emo kids from the suburbs,who bitch about confromity, or anarchists from Eastern Europe, who haven't gotten the revolution off the ground yet. Trust me I have tried to think of other ways to keep in contact, but smoke signals and telepathy are just not realistic.....yet. So here I am shouting from the mountain tops letting you all know: you should check out my blog.
Why did I start this blog you ask? For those of you who don't know,there aren't many at this point, on June 17, 2009 I will be heading to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, also known as the RIM, to serve in the Peace Corps. I will be an English teacher at either a middle school or high school. Before I head to Mauritania however I have a two day orientation in Philly. This is also referred to as stage. At stage I will get a brief overview of Peace Corps RIM. I'm also really excited to meet some of the other volunteers, because we are going to be in Mauritania together for the next 27 months. On a side note I have found some other future volunteers on facebook and we already have plans for to get Cheese Steaks while in Philly. Then on the 17th, after we get our shots of course, we will head to J.F.K and hope on a plane to Dakar, Senegal, and then from there we will take a long ass bus ride to Rosso, Mauritania where will have several weeks of training. On August 20, we will be sworn in as volunteers, and after that it is two years of service.
Giddy up.
