It's happening!

Finally, after a very long time of wondering if I was ever going to be able to join Peace Corps, I found out that I will be going to Niger in October working in community health education.  Ironically enough, this is also where both of my parents volunteered.  So, I have an advantage that they have been there before and can give me a few pointers. Everyday, I still go through a myriad of emotions ranging from excitement to anxiousness to fear to sadness to happiness.  More often than not it's an anxious-excited feeling.
The days are flying by right now and I have a ton of things on my to-do list.  Hopefully I won't put my packing off to the last minute like I usually do. :)
