Getting closer...

Today I received an e-mail from the Peace Corps giving me all of my travel details. On March 10th I'll arrive in Washington DC and go to registration at 1:30pm where we will fill out paperwork and sign in. Then we have a class from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. Next they have a buss pick us up at 2:00am to take us to the airport where we will fly to Florida and then onto Costa Rica.
I have been feeling so great and so calm and assured with the Peace Corps, today I felt a major spike in nerves. This does not mean that I'm doubting my decision, I just realize how much I have to do and just how hard it is going to be to take that first step. From experience I can tell you that the hardest part of starting any big adventure is just getting there. You have to say all of your goodbyes and let go of everything. When you're away, you just have to have faith that everything will work out and will be taken care of. I'm really lucky to have a lot of really great people to support me. That's the update for now. I'm about to call the PC travel company and book my flight.
