So today as I woke up at the crack up noon and walked out into the living room Keisha (roomate's gf) mentioned to me that Mike (roommate) had found a package left at the door for me from Fed-Ex.
Right away I was pretty sure what it was, either my Solio or my invite (finally) from the Peace Corp. Sure enough it was a big blue folder with "the Peace Corps invites you to serve", I was so excited I ripped the front of the folder accidentally and saw on the first page that my assignment was to Mozambique, for the program of "Health & HIV/AIDS Capacity Building Project", my job title being "Community Health Promoter" with my dates of service being December 13, 2008 - Dec. 13, 2010. Wow for some reason 2010 sounds like the distant future not just two years away! My orientation dates are September 29-30th. So looks like I will be leaving somewhere around that time.
To go to Mozambique I have to learn Portuguese which really excites me, I was hoping I would get to serve in a country where English is not the primary language as learning other languages has always interested me, unfortunately my high school Spanish didn't say with me after high school graduation.
This summer has went by waaaay too fast. Mike told me earlier today that the guy who I am subleasing this apartment from will be back on the 17th which means I have to move all of my stuff out of here and then also pack it up for two years while I'm in Mozambique.....looks like I will be busy from here on out. I still have yet to decide when my last day at work will be, as I want to have at least 2 weeks to tie up any loose ends and hang out with some VIPs (namely my awesome gf Kate and my Dad).
