Where it all begins...

I had this great idea when I was 16 that I would one day join the Peace Corps. About three months ago I got a wild hair (hare?) and applied. Today I checked my mailbox to find I had been medically cleared for service--I'm in.

As of today I still don't know where I'm going, but I have a general idea of when (august) and once I know these things this blog will become infinitely more interesting as I don't have much to report as yet.

And although I don't yet know where I'll go, I've read some fantastically inspirational stories about spending two years shitting in a hole in the ground, trying to avoid offending the village by swallowing everything from a cow's tongue to his testicles (I've heard both are salty), and the almost guarantee that I will get malaria, or some other infectiously fun malady. So bear with me folks, here we go...
