Oh my GOD! I'm really leaving!

So it's really happening. I am leaving for the Ukraine tomorrow. I am feeling a little shakey about joining the Peace Corps as I am just as homesick as I thought I would be and I haven't even managed to leave the country yet. The PC orientation was such a rush of information I kind of feel like important things like where I am going to stay are lost in the unimportant but catchy things like the Peace Corps theme song that the musically inclined volunteers created this afternoon. However, through the awesome support of my boyfriend and family I think I will give it a try. As my sister says, "If it's not fun, it will make a fun story". Hopefully I won't be hilarious when I get back.

I will be offline for the next week or so as our orientation event does not have international phone service or internt. We could all get eaten by big Russian Bears and no one would know. It would be a fitting revenge for all of those poofey hats that the bears have been used for...yeah...sorry...i'm tired.
