So here is the deal...

Back in Dec. of '07 I applied for the Peace Corps. An interview took place in January and I recieved a nomination in February. After leaping over several medical obstacles (which weren't as much obstacles as they were my fear of all things sharp and pointy puncturing my skin) I gained medical clearance in May. However after two months of nail biting I finally recieved the blessed blue envelope which contained the invitation to the what could be the greatest adventure of my life.
This blog will hopefully serve as a means of expressing the next two years of my Peace Corps service in Senegal, Africa. There, I will be an Agroforestry agent meaning that I will spend my time teaching about sustainable agriculture and conservation.
I've waited a long time for this as I get closer, inevitably I will post more but I will try and post whenever I can.
For legal purposes this blog solely represents MY point of view and does not represent the views of the U.S. government, the Peace Corps, or the nation of Senegal. Please don't sue me because all I can give is one massive IOU until the my loans are paid off. And please don't sue me after that because I will still be poor.
Also please accept my grammar and spelling errors as I have already accepted and embraced my unique, imperfect style of expression.
