A little update, for those who want it!

As you know, (if you don't already... now you do)- I have joined the Peace Corps. I have been nominated and have all clearances needed. I now just wait for the official invitation with my included departure date. It looks as though right now, I am headed to somewhere in Eastern Europe, but all that can change. Unfortunately, the Peace Corps has endured some struggling times in the past year. This is due to budget cuts, the amount of volunteers, the depreciation of the dollar, and a whole other hand full of reasons.
In order to help boost the opportunities for myself and other Peace Corps Nominees, I am asking that you


the facebook cause here http://apps. facebook. com/causes/39193?m=c8752&recruiter_id=65787,


Visit the More Peace Corps Campaign site: http://www. morepeacecorps. org


On September 11th-13th. Barack Obama, and John McCain will talk about Volunteering in New York. Collectively, we are trying to get as many people to sign up for these causes to help push the importance of Peace Corps and their Volunteers.
Without adequate budget, volunteers are being cut back, as well as the expansion of 20 new countries that NEED our help. Take 5 minutes to read and sign up, because the more push we have, the better the likelihood that our budget will increase. This not only affects you in determining a President, but it affects me directly as well as others in volunteering for the Peace Corps. If you have any questions, hit me up at boardingjon25@yahoo.com We need your help!

Still Waiting

Last Thursday I got an email saying that they needed more information regarding my TD booster. So I got the information requested and sent it off on Tuesday. This is good seeing as that means after about 5-6 weeks the Peace Corps Medical staff is getting around to my info. Woo-hoo. back to paying off loans and saving money!

In the meantime I had a wonderful trip to Boston-Vermont-and Cape Cod last week, purely amazing!
