It will be officially 3 weeks tomorrow until I leave for the Peace Corps. I leave on September 16th at 8:15am to head to Philly for my staging. Staging is where I turn in all my last bits of paperwork and get my shots with all my fellow Cameroon volunteers before we head off to the country. So I found out yesterday that our 3 month training will be in Garoua in the northern province and that is where most of the volunteers will be posted. They say I won't know where my final post is until late October/early November.
So I have been overloaded in the last couple of days with a crap load of PC (Peace Corps) reading material. Its a little daunting, especially when you read how it will be natural to feel homesick, physically sick, useless, overwhelmed, underwhelmed and all around confused. Just a few weeks ago I felt like I had so much free time I could go out and kick rocks for entertainment, but now I am painfully aware of all the things that I now need to do before I go. Although there is a lot to do I am confident that I can get it all done before I leave and hey, if I don't it will all work its self out in the end.
