Expectations

Obviously I haven't started the Peace Corps yet, but I think this website represents a pretty good idea of what I can expect in a very comical way.  So these are my expectations; I'll let you know if my expectations become reality!

What am I doing????

Okay, so I am completely new at blogging and have only a vague idea of what to do, so we'll see how this goes.  This is a blog that I will hopefully keep somewhat up to date while I am a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines (!!!!!!).  I leave July 5, 2013 and will return September 18, 2015 and I have no idea what I'm getting myself into.  I will be put in a Family, Youth, and Child sector and, from what I've read, I will be working with at-risk individuals (I'm hoping mostly children).  I won't know anything more specific about my assignment until I go there for my three months of training and the Peace Corps gets to know me personally.  It will be the experience of a lifetime (as cliche as that sounds, it's completely true) and half the time I'm actually questioning my sanity when I think about how long 2 years will be halfway around the world.  Oh well!  Too late to back out now!
