For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

akwaaba!
So I am getting more and more excited to go to Ghana! I just practiced a few language lessons that the Peace Corps website provided, and I cannot wait to fully learn it!!! As I said before, I went to Ghana my junior year of college, and while there, I learned a few phrases. Naturally, when I heard these same phrases during the language lessons, I got a little pumped :-)
I am just so infatuated with languages. I took Spanish in high school, but unfortunately never took another language course (in high school or in college). I feel as though a spoken or written language connects two strangers. As it turns out, two people who (as far as they know) have nothing in common, do in fact have at least one level of connection: conversation. I want to converse and teach and laugh in a new language. I want to be able to connect as much as I can with the people around me. Since communication will be the first thing I have in common with Ghanaians, it makes me want to learn the language a million times more and a billion times faster. And before I know it, I will (bittersweet-ly) be saying to my new friends and family Yεbεhyia bi. Which translated in English is not "goodbye", but simply "we shall meet again."

aspiration statement
I know it has been forever since I last posted, but I have been kept rather busy until now. So, one of the first things they told me to do was write an aspiration statement. This is what they wanted me to tell them more about:
A: The professional attributes that you plan to use, and what aspirations you hope to fulfill, during your Peace Corps service.
B: Your strategies for working effectively with host country partners to meet expressed needs.
C: Your strategies for adapting to a new culture with respect to your own cultural background.
D: The skills and knowledge you hope to gain during pre-service training to best serve your future community and project.
E: How you think Peace Corps service will influence your personal and professional aspirations after your service ends.
Okay, so I thought long and hard and answered those questions. I've considered putting my responses up here, but I think for now I'll wait. Those responses are kind of my babies, if you will. It is me spilling my heart out saying what it is I want to get out of the Peace Corps and how I think it will change my life. And I'm sure my responses are just way too cheesy to post just yet. But I will post my ending sentence (as cheesy as it may be) because a huge part of me hopes other people think this way too. And if not, I hope people will begin to think this way:
A: The professional attributes that you plan to use, and what aspirations you hope to fulfill, during your Peace Corps service.
B: Your strategies for working effectively with host country partners to meet expressed needs.
C: Your strategies for adapting to a new culture with respect to your own cultural background.
D: The skills and knowledge you hope to gain during pre-service training to best serve your future community and project.
E: How you think Peace Corps service will influence your personal and professional aspirations after your service ends.

acceptance
After receiving my invitation on November 2nd, I had the option of accepting or declining.
OF COURSE I AM GOING TO ACCEPT!
I had to read my assignment description, the online welcome book (which was approximately 100 pages. And yes...I really did read it all), and the core expectations of the Peace Corps. Within 7 days, I had to respond. They gave me the format in which to write it. I inserted my name here and name of country there. And on November 3rd, I clicked SEND!
I then get this email the next day (November 4th):
It's official!!! Oh my gosh!! They gave me a list of things I still needed to do. Some of them I need to get done within 10 days of accepting my invitation. Better get on that!

invite info
So out of the excitement of actually receiving my invitation, I realized I forgot to include any details besides the country. So here it goes!
The program I have been assigned to is Education. And my job title is ICT Specialist, Teacher. It stands for Information and Communication Technology. So that means I will be broadening people's technology skills. Amazing! I will be teaching either at a high school or a college. I was also told that some people have never even used a computer, so I would need to start at that level. It will definitely be a cultural change since this country is massive in the technology department. But I'm am still excited nonetheless!!! :-)
My staging dates (which is basically an orientation period in the states with fellow volunteers) are June 4th-6th, 2012.
My pre-service training in Ghana is from June 6th-August 15th, 2012. During this pre-service training (PST), I will live with a host family, learn a new language, and become more accustomed to the culture and the community that I live in.
My official dates of service are August 15th, 2012-August 15th, 2014. :-) :-) :-)
I went around all day on Friday (November 4th) saying "I LEAVE IN 7 MONTHS!!". It's just so amazing that I can actually say that, and I am actually going!! I can't get over this excitement!!!

| I uploaded this picture to show that at the bottom of my assignment sheet, there is a giant tear drop! Yes...I bawled my eyes out. Out of pure happiness and joy of course. And yes...I took a picture. I wanted to document it for some reason. :-) |

it's heeeeeeeere!
I finally got my invitation on Wednesday (November 2nd)!!
I luckily didn't have to work that day, so I stayed home waiting. So 3:30pm came along, and I was getting hopeless. If it's not here by now, it probably won't be here today. At this time, I decided to call the local UPS company and ask about their hours. The guy said they usual deliver packages until 6pm. Hmm...okay, I'll just watch a movie and wait patiently. Around 5pm I hear a big truck outside my building. It was a UPS truck!! OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!!!! My heart started beating out of my chest (no joke!) I was walking around my apartment taking in deep breaths waiting for a knock.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
He was at my door! I had to sign for the package, and I was shaking so much my signature looked nothing like it should. I shut the door, grabbed some scissors (because there was no way I could hulk through that UPS "plastic"). I pulled out the giant packet, opened it up, and highlighted in bright neon yellow was the word GHANA! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
I began running around my apartment crying my eyes out saying "oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!". Mind you, I was home alone (probably best, since I'm sure I looked crazy). I then sent out a mass text message to everyone telling them "I'm going back to Ghana!!!!". I went to Ghana my junior year of college during May Term for two and a half weeks. I loved every minute of it. I am ecstatic I get to go back again! I already know a lot about Ghana, but I am beyond excited to LIVE in Ghana rather than just visit! Oh my gosh, I am getting uber pumped just writing about it!!!

UPS (yoo-pee-es) noun: Unforgettable PeaceCorps Surprise
I woke up on Thursday, October 27th, to an email. It was from the Peace Corps website saying my application status had changed!! I quickly go to the Peace Corps website, and the first thing that pops up is: "Your password is more than 12 months old. You must change it to continue." My heart sank...was this the "change" that the email was talking about? I was losing hope. And then I see this:
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!! And then I see below:
I wasn't home much on Thursday, Friday, OR Saturday, so I was worried I had missed the UPS guy/girl. But when I did get home, there was no "Sorry we missed you" tag on my door. So, I am about 85% sure I will get my invitation tomorrow!!! I don't work until 2pm, so I should be home when the UPS person gets here! And just to be sure I hear the knock on the door, I am sleeping in the front room tonight! There is no way I can miss it! I am beyond excited!
I keep having dreams of receiving my invitation and seeing where they place me. One dream said they were sending me to Kenya. Another (one I had just last night) said I was going to Aggn. I know what you're thinking...where is Aggn? Well, as it turns out, it's not even a real place. So hopefully soon enough, my dreams will clear up and become a reality!
PS If I had known they would email me once they sent the invitation, I would NOT have checked my mail everyday. That was torture. But there's a little advice for those of you reading and waiting for your invitation.

the wait continues
So I waited the entire month of September to get my letter in the mail. And when it did not arrive, I emailed my placement officer to get an update. She said
Which makes sense. I'm cool with that. It has to be difficult finding projects and locations for so many applicants. She then went on to say that I may not receive my letter until mid-October or possibly even November. I am so anxious and excited to get it, I almost can't stand it anymore! But, soon enough, I'll know what my future holds. And to help with the waiting game, I have decided not to check my mail everyday. That will help my mood tremendously, because every time I see that empty mailbox, my heart sinks a little. So I'll go back to my usual Mail Mondays (you know...where I only check the mail on Mondays). But let's be honest, can I really stay away from my mailbox for a whole week? I guess only time will tell.
we are experiencing an additional delay at this time as we wait for our worldwide posts to submit revised program numbers for that period

patience is a virtue
Still no letter in the mail from the Peace Corps. My Placement Officer (PO) said I would have something by the beginning of September. So naturally, I assumed I would get something on September 1st. It is September 5th, and I am getting beyond anxious! I badly want to know where I am going to be next year! I check the mail about twice a day (even Sundays...you know...just in case). In fact, I haven't checked it today. I am going to go do that now. I am not hopeful because it's a holiday, and I'm not sure if the lovely mailperson works on this fine Monday. Alas, the small metal container that is my mailbox is empty. I wish I had more/better news. I guess for those of you reading this, it's as much of a waiting game for you as it is for me. So let's cross our fingers and hope it gets here some time this week!
Ciao for now.

branson or bust
Day 1 and 2 (Sunday and Monday)
Mom, Gery, Emma, and I headed out to Branson at 7am on Sunday (the 7th). We get to Branson about 13 hours later. What a car ride. First things first, we head to Silver Dollar City. Now, I'm not huge on amusement parks, but this one was kind of fun. There were a lot of water rides which I absolutely love, so I was content. We got to the park after 5pm on Sunday, and the park gave us a deal (and many others I am sure) where we could come in for free the next day. So, naturally we did. The most memorable moment for me? Mom and Emma "forced" me onto this ride called Fire in the Hole. It was entirely inside a building, so I was uneasy about getting on, because I had no clue what to expect. Turns out it was kind of like a miniature roller coaster (and I hate roller coasters), but it turns out I wasn't the one who was freaked out by this ride. Poor little miss Emma was having a fit. She did not enjoy it, and (being the mean sister I am) I found it comical. She quickly got over it, and we rode several more rides afterwards.
Day 3 (Tuesday)
We spent most of the day shopping at Branson Landing. It was this giant outdoor mall thing. Mind you, I'm not a huge fan of shopping, but this wasn't too bad. I got nose rings. Awesome, I know. There's really not much else to mention here. Shopping isn't TOO exciting :)
Day 4 (Wednesday)
We woke up and rode the ducks! It's an attraction called Ride the Ducks and it's a tour of the area in a bus like vehicle with an overly excited driver (who made it soooo much fun). And then you get a tour of the lake. In the lake. Yep. This vehicle goes straight from the road into the water! It's amazing! And you also get a duck call device that you can use to quack at other duck riders passing by or at annoying people you want to shut up. Anyway, this was definitely awesome, and you should do it if you come to Branson!
We also went to the Titanic Museum. Which was AMAZING! Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures, but we got a booklet thingy that had a lot of pictures of the museum's innards :) We went on a self guided audio tour. It was so cool learning all the details and the history behind the Titanic (instead of just learning from the more than amazing movie). They also had the 3-minute Challenge where you put your hand in a container of 28 degree water (which was how cold the water was at the time of the sinking). The 4 of us made it the whole 3 minutes, but it was tough. My hand stung at first, but then weirdly, it started to get warm. The woman in charge of this "station" said that meant my hand was going numb. Eek! But nothing medically bad happens to your hand in 3 minutes or less. That's why they only go 3 minutes. But the whole museum was amazing, and I definitely recommend going to that if you are ever in Branson!
Day 5 (Thursday)
Would you have guessed we went shopping again today? I wouldn't have either...but we did. This time we went to Tanger Outlet Mall. Basically the same concept as Branson Landing with the set up. Today, I got a pair of shorts. I have been looking for a pair of Keen shoes, but I must be too picky, because I can't seem to find a pair I like. Oh well. That's what the internet is for!
Thursday night we went to Dixie Stampede. I found out here that I am fairly allergic to furry animals. Luckily for me, this show was FILLED with such animals. Besides all the sneezing and nose blowing, the show was pretty fun. They serve you a ton of food (that you HAVE to eat with your hands), and you "compete" with the crowd directly across from you. If you click here, this will send you to a video that kind of explains the process and what not of the whole show.
Oh, by the way, the soup is TO DIE FOR!! And they sell it in the gift shop, so if you can get into the gift shop before the show, seriously, buy this! We didn't get any afterwards because the gift shop was sooo busy and packed. But it's creamy vegetable soup that you'll devour in seconds!
Day 6 (Friday)
Our last day has arrived. And we boarded the Showboat Branson Belle. This was a dinner cruise that was beyond amazing. I had a great time. The show consisted of a magician/comedian as the host, an all male vocal group called the Showmen, and an extremely talented woman who played the piano and violin as well as other things. It was so much fun, and I definitely recommend this show! It was definitely a great way to end the trip.
Day 7 (Saturday)
Aaah, the trip home. On our way back, we decided to make a stop at Branson Zip Line and Canopy Tours. I was a little skeptical that they would even have an opening for us, being a Saturday during the summer. But, fortunately for us, they did!!! Once we got to the zip line towers, I was getting a little nervous to push myself off of the tower, but when I finally did, it was AWESOME! I get really bad motion sickness, but this was a breeze! Literally! We went about 25-30 mph, and it was so fun! It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it.
Overall, this was a really fun trip. There are so many things to do in Branson, and I'm sure I've forgotten to post some of the things we did (I didn't want this to get too lengthy). But it's definitely something you should do if you want a huge variety of shows, entertainment, and restaurants.
We also stopped at the Missouri State Fair on the way home. We fed camels, played carnival games, looked at mowers, and sweat our butts off! :)

forty-one minutes later
I get off the phone after my PO tells me I have been officially invited to be a volunteer in the Peace Corps!!! The moment has finally arrived!! I did it!
She said she would have to do some more research on projects/locations and would get back to me on when and where I'm going by the end of August or early September. The wait is KILLING me!!! I'm sooooo anxious to find out where I will be spending 27 months of my life! Once I find out, I've decided to buy (or check out) every single book on that country, read millions of blogs and articles about it, and study the snot of out said country. I want to know EVERYTHING! Well, everything I can when it comes to learning from books. But the lessons I learn living in this country will not even compare to those that I read in books. But hey, it's a start.
More to come when I find out more!

a-ringy dingy
Today was the day my Peace Corps placement officer (PO) was going to call me. I had given her my cell phone number, and she said she would call me at 3:30pm. Earlier, I had some cell phone troubles and kept losing calls. Shoot. I can't have my placement officer call me at this number today.
2:00pm I quickly send my PO an email asking if she could call me on my house phone. I was nervous she wouldn't get the email in time, but luckily, she had. Whew. I got that figured out. Now, I wait.
2:00pm I quickly send my PO an email asking if she could call me on my house phone. I was nervous she wouldn't get the email in time, but luckily, she had. Whew. I got that figured out. Now, I wait.
2:30pm Okay. One hour until she will be calling me. What should I do to pass the time? For a while, I just sit at my computer searching for other blogs describing how their phone interview with their PO went. I was getting some last minute tips. Then I realized I was sitting in silence, and that wasn't helping my nerves at all. I started playing some relaxing and inspiring music.
3:15pm Fifteen more minutes. It's almost time. I begin pacing around the house now. I have the cordless phone in my hand. Walking from the window in the kitchen to the back door in the living room. Taking deep breaths.
3:29pm One more minute. This is it. This is what I've been waiting for.
3:30pm Any second now. My future is going to change any second now.
3:31pm No ring yet. Nothing. The house is completely quiet.
3:32pm Still nothing. I frantically look at the phone on the counter to see if it had been disconnected. Nope. Perfectly hung up. I look at the cordless phone in my hand to see if it was turned off. Yep. Completely off.
3:33pm A-ringy dingy!!!!
