Soon!

I have good reason to believe that I will be ready to send in my medical paperwork to the Peace Corps on Friday! Finally! My teeth are chattering with excitement (or maybe that's just something the dentist did to me today?). Of course, anything could go wrong between now and then, but I'm going to let myself hope now. What do you want to bet that the VA Medical Center that hasn't responded to my calls from as far back as mid-December will call me next week? "What? Your paperwork is done? But we've made you an appointment for May 20th, 2012."

Mostly, I wanted to share the Peace Corps Family and Friends page, where you can learn fun things about my potential health, safety, and accessibility to you while I'm overseas.

Also, you should be excited about my friend (I can't call him Boss anymore, but he's still boss as in the adjective) Matthew's exciting press about the water purification project he's working on. The Times Herald Record wrote up a piece about the BioSand Bag Filters this week. Check it out, and support him if you can!
