jinx, double jinx, triple jinx, buy me a pepsi

im about to jinx myself. but here goes: i just got nominated to the peace corps.

my application submitted and praised, my interview completed and pwn3d, my nomination official and secured.
*shrieks for joy*
*tries to calm herself*

the nomination process is actually multi-step, so i still need to pass the medical exam, background check and receive an official "invitation" (which is different than a nomination). but for now, the recruiter and washington love my application package and see me as an "ideal candidate" for an environmental education/community outreach program in sub-saharan africa. exactly what i wanted.

im absolutely about to quit my job. im absolutely thrilled. and torn. and excited and sad and apprehensive and overwhelmed and estatic and augh. i could leave as early as march 2006. which is in exactly 100 days. after which i will leave for approximately 800 days.

yeah!
