So it seems I've made it. That is, all of my paperwork is done and I've been medically and legally cleared to begin training as a Peace Corps volunteer. As many of you know, this has been a long and unsteady process ... but alas, I will be boarding a plane Wednesday for Philadelpha where the Peace Corp Kyrgyz Republic group will attend what's referred to as 'staging'.
It's basically a meet and greet, and a chance for everyone to re-evaluate their commitment to serving a two year term - a job often described by returned volunteers as, "the hardest job you'll ever love."
I am looking excitedly towards my near future, and looking behind with bleary eyes - for I have known some truly wonderful people here and will miss them dearly. To all my friends and family - thank you for your continual support and kind wishes.
Look forward to some interesting posts in the near future, I'm sure there will be much of interest in Kyrgyzstan.
