PCV!

Hi all. I am happy to announce that I am finally a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV)! I passed my language test and officially got sworn in today. We had a very nice ceremony with the US Ambassodor and other embassy officials, all the trainers, the PC staff, and some of our future working partners. It was a great turn-out with lots of singing, speeches, and FOOD. I will leave tomorrow for Sebapala-Quthing for my village. I am very excited to get settled and make my thatched roof rodavel home. I am also a bit nervous to go from extreme business with a lot of structure and fellow trainees to no structure and no fellow volunteers. I am sure I will find plenty of things to do. Work already seems busy, there is SO MUCH to be done, but things seem to happen very slowly here. I have finally gotten a cell phone so if anyone wants to give me a jingle just drop me an email and I will give you my number. I hope all is well back in the states and hope the summer is going great. I will be in touch as best I can. I am not sure if my camptown has internet so I will have to investigate the closest place to log on. Until next time.
