Getting closer...

I've booked my flight to LA!!! HOLY MOLY, it's all really happening!! I leave June 4th for LA at 5:40 pm. I can't wait to meet everyone I'll be spending the next 2 years with.

In other news, I got an email from my Associate Peace Corps Director today and she seems like an awesome person. And guess where she went right after the Peace Corps...of all cities?! BARCELONA! Coincidence? Maybe! But maybe she'll be able to hook a sista up! hehe. that was my ghettoness for the day.

That's all in Peace Corps news.

I've been getting congratulations from everyone at work and I'm glad that they are offering additional support because it definitely helps. Sometimes I find myself thinking about what I'm doing and what I will be doing and I start to panic. Am I really going to be able to help these people? What the hell can I really do to help? But then, I know that I can bring something to the table and if anything, my passion and just my want of doing something good will give me some guidance.

But all this doesn't help the tears that have been forming lately for no good reason at all. I've always been a pretty sensitive person who unleashes the floodgate of tears when there is any sappiness or sadness on tv or in the movies. But I've never been one to just start crying for no apparent reason. Like the other day I was driving and tears just started forming and then gushing out and I couldn't stop and it took me awhile to control myself. I guess everything is just hitting. Although it will take a lot of strength and mental toughness to leave everyone and everything I have known back home, I'm still excited for all these possibilities and opportunites that are waiting for me. A whole new life is waiting!
