Nomination!

I got a call from my recruiter yesterday morning and I'm officially nominated for the Peace Corps! I'm nominated for youth development programs leaving in January 2013 with possibility of service in North Africa, Asia, or the Caribbean! I'm still trying to process everything but I'm so excited. I have to wait until August to get started with the new online medical clearance procedures, then if everything gets approved I should find out where I go and when I leave sometime late fall. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that in 7 months or so I could be packing up to leave for 27 months in a country I've never been to. It's hard to believe, really, and I'm not telling many people yet because for some reason I think it might jinx it or something. For now I think I need to start preparing myself and my life for an amazing new adventure.
