Okay, it's time to get to the nitty gritty. 15 Days left until I become an official Peace Corps trainee! I've been studying as much French with the Rosetta Stone program as possible. i've been studying a little bit of Moore as well. My mind is really getting its a$$ kicked! I'm just about finished with the things I think I need to pack for my adventure. Hopefully I don't go overboard! Now I'm just waiting for my airplane ticket to fly from Providence to Philadelphia. My first day of Pre-Orientation will be held at the Holiday Inn somewhere in Philly. I'm very excited as well as nervous to begin this new chapter in my life. I'm not looking forward to all the difficulties and frustrations that are waiting for me in Burkina Faso but I'll do my best to make the best of things and get through them. A whole new culture waits for me. Some many questions run through my mind...What do I eat? What will my job be like? How will the locals respond to me? Will I ever be able to contact friends and family? Will I be completely isolated? How well will I be able to pick up the language? So many anticipations.. So little time!
