It's finally here, I'm really leaving! Tomorrow I fly to Philadelphia, where I'll attend Peace Corps orientation for two days. After that I leave for Niger, for two years.
I've been waiting so long for this and now it's here. Overwhelming, definitely! Exciting, of course!
Leaving out on my own to see the world, or a part of it. A situation totally different from anything I've known. A chance to explore, to give back, to wonder. Holy crap!
I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Packed, re-packed, said goodbyes. I'll miss people, for sure. But I won't forget them! I'll definitely email/call/write folks, as time and opportunity affords me.
I will update this as often as I can. It might be a few months though.
Until then!
