For those who don't know what the life of a Peace Corps Nominee is like, this is for you. For those lucky few who have gone through the seemingly enless questions of "So when are leaving?" and "Have you signed up for Timbuctoo yet?", you will understand fully what it is that I am talking about. I have been inspired by the wonderful writings of past volunteers, hearing stories of their harrowing and sometimes, bone-chiling stories, to begin to document my own story. While my story right now might not be bone-chiling or harrowing, it might serve as an outlet for something productive to do other than buying useless, but awesome, stuff on the internet or watching the idiot box. This will be a platform for me to complain, inspire, digress and hopefully decompress all the thoughts that I am having about our adventure.
While I know that I am prone to wander and possibly bore all those who read this (mom and maybe wife?), It is a place that is more about me than the reader. It is my thoughts on life, the things I find myself wondering and questioning. It is a place for dreamers and mostly a place to think. To stop and ask the questions that I am not going to be affraid of asking. And that is as they say is that. First blog down, hopefully, many more to follow...
Did I mention that I often get bored with things and lose interest?
