I forget where my last blog left off. Well, my toolkit was updated last thursday that my invite was mailed on wensday. so I've been obsessive-compulsively checking the mail the moment I get up ever since but no letter yet. I still think it's either cameroon or burkina faso and I'm still happy about both. It's funny that it's taking this long because I get letters or packages from oklahoma sometimes and it usually takes one or maybe two days to get to me because I live in a suburb of philadelphia so it's not like I'm way out there or anything, I'm actually relatively close to DC. Oh well, I'm actually not stressing out too much about it. I'm actually glad the mail comes only once a day as apposed to email which can come at any time. when I was waiting for med clearance I checked my email about as often as I breathed during the day (ya bad metaphor but you get the idea).

so in case you were wondering, here's a day in the life of a peace corps invitee awaited the invite letter: Wake up before the alarm goes off. I think for a while about the weird dream I just had about the peace corps (last night I received three packages with books describing people I would be working with who live in the jungles of cameroon and who carry speers and wear a lot of red, the night before that I dreamed I was going to burkina faso. I've also had dreams about going to south america and another burkina faso dream). I roll out of bed, immediately put on my shoes, walk downstairs and outside to check the mail. If the mail hasn't come yet, I stalk the mailman through my window until he's at my house, and then I meet him at the mailbox. I calmly search through the mail and am dissapointed to see the letter still hasn't arrived. I search again just to be sure I didn't miss it. I put the mail on the table (my mom has been very happy I've been getting the mail for her every day the last two weeks! Haha!), whip out the laptop and check email, myspace and pc blogs. THEN I get up, go upstairs and brush my teeth and get ready for the day. I have a normal day from there on, and the next morning it repeats. LoL I may not know what to do with myself in the morning once I do get my letter, I may get up and automatically go to the mailbox just out of habit.

Anyway, I'm off to maryland for three days sans letter. It's coming tomorrow, I just know it! One day too late. Oh well, if it's not here by friday I will call my PO, he said it should be here by the end of this week :) it doesn't really matter I guess, I'm happy with both burkina and cameroon, but still, it would be soooooo nice to know which one I'm going to :) And it would be hilarious if it were someplace completely different since I've been so focused on cameroon and burkina for a while now, it would show how much I know!! Haha oh well I shall update you hopefully soon when I figure out where in the world I will be living in june!!! Woohoo only like 10 weeks away I will be there!!! yyyyaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! Whereever there is!!!!!!

peace.
