More Than A Feeling
I was kind of worried when I sent back my re-passport/visa in the mail because after I sent it in to fedex, I realized that I just put the Peace Corps as the address and not where it should go in the Peace Corps. So I waited an entire week before I decided to call and see if they got it and if it was the right thing or not. I called and was expecting to hear, well I enver got it and you will have to go get chased by an old man again, but rather no I didn't hear that rather we have it. He said the same thing that I thought that it was crazy that he wound up with it rather in some internal department. I guess they saw the name and guessed where it went. I was so happy because now I am officaly done with all the things. I had to turn in a article about me so they could put in the paper that I was going to the Peace Corps and I was a little indecisive about that because I didn't want it to be in the paper in the first place. I don't want to broadcast, hey I am joining the Peace Corps everybody because then it makes it seem like I am trying to show everybody what I am doing and I don't want to do that at all. I would rather just go and the people that know I am going, know and the others just don't, but not tell everybody about it. Still I guess it is cool an all. I am still happy that I am almost done with everything and I only have four weeks left until I go to Philly which I am pretty excited about and done with my silly job.

Who Knew?
I recently filled out all my Visa info and thought man that was way too easy. I then went to a post office to have them give me the stamp on it for it to be improved and pay the thirty dollars. Well they stamped it with a mail ink stamp and I knew something wasn't right. I called the mail people and they said oh, it is okay. I called the travel agency and they said it is okay. So I sent it in and found out it was wrong. I was unsuprised that I got a call saying I had to do it all over again. So I called the mail people and talked to somebody who knew what they were talking about. He told me where to go, I went there and was sitting for my turn and when it was my go, this old man starts yelling you weren't next where did you come from. I was like I have been here the entire time and was here way before you were. He gave me a dirty look and then said Oh I must of missed you. I thought that was weird. When I got up there to pay for it and get it filled out, she told me to pay by money order or check, I had neither. I had to run home and back again all within an hour or else I would have to come back another day meanwhile it is snowing outside. I got back with like 5 minutes to spare, fill out my info sign it and pay for it. Then run to Kinko's to fedex this letter and then I realized after I fedexed it with my own money, I may have sent it to the wrong place, but I cross my fingers I didn't. So I will find out if it was accepted or yet I have another attempt at getting a passport. Only time will time and if I have to go again, hopefully no old men with canes and anger isssues that are partially blind.

A Happy Blog
I am happy to post a happy blogg on my blogg. I am happy because I have all my plan pretty much layed out before I go to Kenya now. My last blogg was a little bit of me being mad about some stupid stuff and me venting my anger. I figured out that I am going to visit my friend ed in La sometime in April and go visit my friend Cassandra in March who is also joining in the PC and should be finding out where she is going pretty soon. I am also happy to report that I am pretty much done with all of my PEace corps paper work. I have to have the mail people sign my visa sheet tomorrow, then put it in the mail and then I am done with everything until May when I leave. Yes, I can't wait and am counting down the days until I go to africa. It will be cool when I go there because I will get to see my friend Lyn and hang out with her in Zambia and then when I find out where Cassandra is stationed, I will go visit her too. It will be cool to because we are both going to go visit other parts of Africa when we are both done with the PC and see other parts of the world that I haven't see before. Africa is a beautiful place and it will be cool to travel around it and see other parts of the country whether it be Egypt, Camerron, Mosembique, or any other part of it. IT will be an awesome trip. I can't wait. I can't wait to go to LA and see all the sites there too. Awesome. IT will be so cool to see Philly and to see what media is like and hang out with Cassandra. I have never been to Philly and heard how cool it is there. I will just have to see what it is like there. I can't wait.
