I am invited to...

BOTSWANA!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited I can't stand it.  I leave on April 1st for staging, and that is almost all I know right now.  I have to read through the gigantic packet of information that came and then formally accept.  That's all for now! Bigger update in a day or two.

  3. Congratulations! What state do you live in? I'm only curious because my invitation was sent out the day after yours but I wasn't going to start looking for it until next week. I do live on the West Coast.

    Funny story, I told the career counselor my freshman year that I wanted to be a Sexologist. I went the public health route instead, finding it a better thought. But I never figured I'd run across someone, so close to age to boot who was a sexologist.

  4. Thanks, everyone! Note- I made a mistake when I posted "June 1st" as my departure date- it is, in fact, April 1st. So, Mobleys- I look forward to meeting you in Philly (my old stomping ground)! Tija, I hope that you hear something soon and that we'll be somewhere close enough to meet eachother! Goodlifechoice- I am in NY. I hope your invitation arrives soon! Funny story, I almost went the public health route instead of sexology! Let me know when you hear about your invitation! I have been reading your blog on wordpress, but I don't know how to "follow" it... any ideas?

  5. Someone told me about a group on Facebook called "BOTS 9 - Peace Corps". It is for people who left in April 2010. They compared information on packing and stuff. It is great information.

    We actually should start our own "BOTS 10 - Peace Corps" group.

    You are the only other person I have run across that has their invitation to Botswana. Do you know of others yet?

  6. Hmm, a Facebook group is a great idea. Do you want to start it? Let me know! I don't know of any other Botswana invitees yet.

    So... what are you packing? :)
