Hello all,
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written anything. For awhile I was reading other people’s websites to get a general idea of what to expect once I get to SA. At this point, I’ve pretty much stopped reading them, because I want to be able to have my own experience that isn’t clouded by what someone else might have experienced.
When you are invited for a Peace Corps program, you never quite know where you’ll wind up. Yes, you know where your training will be held, but you have no idea where your site will be, or how rural or urban it will be. I guess my point is, without knowing where you are going, why try to set expectations for it? It’s sort of like making an itinerary for Disneyland, and when you arrive you actually find out you’re in Alaska.
At the same time, this makes it a bit tricky when you’re packing. Should I pack more heavy duty outfits for rural areas, or should I pack dressier things for an office environment? It’s a little maddening. 
Anyhow, I should be getting my staging info in a month or so. I wonder if it’ll be D.C. I’ve never been there, so it might be fun to look around.
