Applicant.
Nominee.
Invitee.
Trainee.


As of about 12:30 EST today I became a Peace Corps Trainee. Meeting all the trainees in my class, 36 total. Approximately 30 public health/HIV trainees, and 6 small enterprise development trainees (like myself).

Today was paperwork, policies, logistics, etc.

Tomorrow (well really the next day or two), will be very very long. A 3 hour bus ride to Long Island, and two 8+ hour flights. Good thing is I got to know so many people in my training class that we will be able to hang out and talk on the flight. So far everyone is really cool.

Last meal in the US of A was at "Sullivan's Steakhouse." I had a fat NY Steak, paired with King Crab legs. We all shared sides so also had kick ass mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It was a good way to go out (plus PC gave us a bunch of cash for our short stay in PA, so why not indulge?). Had some great PA beer called Yuengling; apparently from America's oldest brewery.

Well off to bed. Very good chance the next update will not be for a while.

PS If I remember I'll post my address before heading out tomorrow.
