but I want to know nowwww!



Ok, I know it hasn't even been a week since we found out, and our paperwork wont be mailed to the DC office for three more weeks, but I want to know where were are going nowwww! (Be sure to include Violet's whiny voice from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) I know I need to be patient, but when I know the country I can start the majority of the planning. If you know me, you know that I take after my Mother in that I like to PLAN. I desperately yearn to make lists of things to do, and make and buy, errands to run, and injections to get. I want to cyber-stalk other people who have gone to my country and read their blogs. I want tips on packing. Do the skirts and dresses have to be to the knee, or mid-calf? Can I wear sleeveless things? What is the general climate and what types of vegetable seeds should I bring? (I plan to have a garden, which is pretty common) Should I plan for scorching heat, monsoons, or both? Am I going to be doing health education or special ed? The mental image I have of Ken and I's peace corps adventure looks a lot like us in Africa, in a mud hut, in 120 degree weather, with a mass of beautiful chocolate colored children swarming us. There is a very good chance that this is pretty accurate, but we could also get sent to Eastern Europe and be in the mountains where it's cold, and then my mental image is completely and utterly wrong. I know you can't really plan for what will happen overseas, and I wont know what I'm getting myself into, or what it will even look like until we get there, but me and my Nazi planning tendencies would like to think otherwise. I mostly just want a vague mental image. And I'm going to have to wait another two months before I get it. Pout.
