I'm leaving Indiana for Philadelphia in less than 24 hours for my few days of Peace Corps orientation before the big trip to Africa, then Wednesday I leave for Niger! I’ve been growing more and more nervous over the past few days but I am still excited about the next two years of my life. The first few months will be hard during training in Hamdallaye, which is just outside of the capital, Niamey, but I think as long as I keep a positive attitude, it’ll be OK. Once I complete and pass my training, I will officially become a volunteer and will get placed into a village or area. It’s been kind of frustrating because I don’t know exactly where I’m going or what I’m doing exactly, so I don’t feel very prepared. But I guess I’ve just had to accept that I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be. I’m going to do my best to keep this updated regularly and eventually put up some pictures. Feel free to leave comments, send me e-mails or snail mails and I’ll reply as soon as possible.
Take care everyone!
