Patience... something I believe every Peace Corps applicant really has to learn, or at least deal with. After waiting, and waiting... and waiting, departure day is finally drawing near and my mind is trying to switch gears from "it's never going to happen" to "this is happening really soon". Having backpacked Nicaragua in August of 2010, it is reassuring to be familiar with the country where I will be spending the next two years of my life. I also have a few friends there which is comforting as well. Hopefully, I will receive my staging packet next week and then I will be able to order my plane tickets. Once I have my plane ticket, this is going to feel really real really fast. Up until this point I have been very cautious to get too excited, feeling like it could fall through at any minute. But once that plane ticket to staging is my hands, then its go time - time to start panicking about what to pack for the next two years of my life :-). About 34 days until go time. I know this time is going to fly by.
