PC Application...Toddler Stage

I decided that I want to try (again) and keep a blog, but specifically about my Peace Corps endeavors. My hope is that when I'm "gone" to another part of the world, I'll have some access to internet, although it would be really cool if i didn't, and can keep everyone at home updated on what my life involves. So why not start now...
Last week was the big interview. I decided that moved me from being in the infant stages of the application process to the toddler stage. I have my loan deferment stuff still to do, and Vila's recommendation, but after that, full fledged toddler!
The interview was fun. I was more concerned about what to wear to it than the actual interview itself! Evan was really nice and down to earth and easy to talk to, although I'm sure I rambled as usual. He asked about my support systems and how they feel about me embarking on this passage of life. I feel really supported by everyone, except G-mom, but her support is mixed...like she tells me now is the time to do it, but then she tells Karen that she doesn't understand why I want to do this. Chris was being a poopy pants about it all yesterday, but oh well...like i asked him; what difference is it going to make if I'm on the other side of the world or another state next year? But, I did discuss Karen's support and how she's probably excited about inheriting my stuff...silly car included.
But the thought of being without that stuff is greatly exciting to me. As i look around my room i feel so cluttered and just out of control about everything. I look forward to the days of like when I lived at the Ranch with one suit case and one backpack. Those days were good...for so many more reasons too!
So now it's sit and wait time for a bit. Focus on the end of school...a summer job?...and the good people around me.

Happiness is the mist....dreary as it may make the day.
