Philadelphia, here I come

I finely heard where I will be leaving from. Good ol Philadelphia. I don't really know anything about it. I was sort of hoping west coast, but oh well. They sent a note that was stern. I think they just want to scare us into good behavior so we don't all show up and make a fool of ourselves and them first thing. They will give me a plane ticket, but I think I may try to drive, so if there is anyone I know along the way you should get in touch with me so I can stop by.

To Pack or Not To Pack

something another girl from our group sent us last night and think there are I know I really need to start getting some stuff together but I am having a hard time of it. I have a lot of stuff I just cant seem to keep it in one place. I am an incurable slob sometimes. And I just keep pulling things I have put inmy bag out and using them. I was readinga few things I am missing. I kept hearing about how dressy everyone is on the streets. Appearance is VERY!!! important. Another girl who is there now says she has seen men doing construction in suits, women walking down the road in dresses and heals with live chickens in their hands. So, to the thrifts store it is for me. Wish me luck!

Off We Go


Several months ago I got my Peace Corps invitation. I was hoping for Africa, afraid to get freezing eastern Europe and love what I ended up with. I am going to the Republic of Azerbaijan. To be honest I did not even know where it was when I first heard of it. Turns out is is a secular Muslim country located on the Caspian sea. (the lighttan/cream colored one) They are surrounded by Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Iran. The only place in the country that seems volatile is the
Armenia /Azerbaijan border. They have been fighting for some time over an alcove of land outside Azerbaijan. I will be leaving June 24th and will gone for the next 2 years and 3months. I am excited but nervous as hell.
Well I don't really have much to say, just thought I should start with something. So far I am still just going through the grind of trying to get there. Paper work and studying. I feel sadly like I am back in school. I will try to keep utd.
