Letting Go of the Sippy Cup and Binki

Evan called today!! He's nominating me for a position in Sub Saharan Africa, in a French speaking area, and the group leaves in February. Hot Damn! I'm pretty excited about it. His other option was in central Africa which would be pretty cool too...but I'm pretty excited about all this! It kind of gives me butterflies! Next is medical reviewing and then some more waiting! Pretty fantastic I must say!

Happiness is a new dance leotard that I won't buy because I know I won't need it where I'm going!

Potty Training?

Today I was accomplished...mailed in my last check for my car (shout out to G-mom), e-mailed in my loan info, and Vila finished his recommendation. This evening Evan (my recruiter) called me...that was fast! It was only a message and I'm to call him back tomorrow...it is amazing to be this accelerated with everything. It would almost be awesome if I didn't have to worry about a summer job, but I would like to be around for the move and have a chance to maybe go out West for a bit. We shall see...I'm sure it will still be quite some time before I'd leave!

Sidebar: Zimbabwe elections are going on...well have gone on...and they are still waiting for the results and the current leader is being not nice about stepping down. It made me really think of the instabilities in African countries right now and how real they still are. I guess, even after the Africa forum, I feel like those instabilities happened several years ago and they are still settling down these days. But, no. Exciting times we live in.

Happiness is in the rain that makes spring become summer.
