Anticipation

I'll call this Blog, Anticipation.

It's been another week things are getting exciting! The country has chosen that Obama/Biden shall be inaugurated on January 20th, 2009. I think that change is what we will get. Hopefully it is all positive change. I hope Obama does not renege on his words to expand the Peace Corps along with the budget. Hopefully he is a man of his word. I also spoke to my Placement Officer last Thursday. He was happy I had called- he was trying to get me on board with a Central Asia March invitation (only 2 months earlier than my May Invitation) but couldn't because they (the countries) didn't need any more business volunteers. He said he would be sending out invites within another week or two. As the invitations began to come in for other people such as Romania- it made me wonder. What is the possibility that I will go to Romania? I loved it there when I was visiting in April. Be almost coming full circle. I must say I have narrowed it down again- countries - if I stay on course and receive a May Invitation. Armenia, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania are the top choices right now for the May departures because Albania, and Kyrgyzstan Republic are leaving in March. Romania is already slated to leave in May so that is still very in. Armenia has been known to leave in May in previous years. Ukraine usually leaves in Feb. but those departures were consolidated from 3 departures to 2 or maybe 1. Moldova can bounce around between May-July departures it looks like in quarters past. Georgia is usually a June departure but who knows where that will be in 6 months. Azerbaijan is usually a June departure...basically I have no idea where or when I will be leaving per usual.

I'll update you all as soon as something changes! Have a good one!
