It’s been a crazy day. I challenged the bosses of my bosses on my job, I debated activism vs. actually being full of shit with friends both near and far, and, uh, got a new Peace Corps nomination. Honestly, I was pretty sure they forgot about me. But guess where they want me to go: that’s right, if you were originally supposed to go Niger, the 2nd “worst off” country in Africa, just guess where they’d send you next: that’s right, you got it: Mauritania. The country that impresses other Peace Corps folks already in Africa. I keep thinking to myself, “at least it’s not land-locked (weak smile)”. The question: am I ready to leave my community here, and all that is in it? Well. It would be hard to say yes.<\/p>\n
I must got to bed, as it is the ripe hour of 10:17, but I would like to give a little shout-out to my bestest friend in the whole wide world- we will call her Stacey. She deserves more than the two sentences I’ll give her here, but I’m just sayin’, you would be a lucky person to have half a best friend as great as I do. She’s currently in Indonesia, leaving in two weeks for Vanuatu. So send her some good juju tonight for being one of the good ones.<\/p>\n
When exactly did 10 PM become late? Ahh, but you should see my world at 7 AM. It’s not ugly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
