Peace Corps: Ecuador

I got my invitation kit on Friday (after successfully stalking the mailman), and found out my country is Ecuador! I think I really lucked out on that one - Ecuador is a gorgeous country and I cannot wait to spend the next two years working there, despite the large anaconda/poisonous snake population. I have already informed everyone I know and begun finding other Ecuador invites through Facebook. For now, I will fill my time with substituting, dog-sitting, and filling out more paperwork!!

"Congratulations! You have been invited to become a Peace Corps volunteer."

I got officially invited to the PC on Tuesday! I won't lie, I was pretty stressed about it for about a month since I last heard from my Placement Officer so this is such a relief. Now I just have to wait until my Placement kit comes in the mail so I will know where I am going and what exactly I will be doing. Then, I'll have ten days to accept my invitation (like I would say no...). For now, I'll be quitting my job at CVA and hopefully substituting a bit before I leave and of course finishing all the PC paperwork and trying to get my loans deferred! I'll certainly be busy the next two months getting prepared for my new adventure.
