Much needed update!

Wow, ok, I have definitely not been updating this site! I have completed the essays, turned in all of my recommendations, submitted by application, had a phone interview, got nominated for the Pacific Islands, Marine Protected Areas Management, and just went to a Peace Corps party in Birmingham! Wow, I guess I can't complain, everything is going as planned! And I think I have figured out that I will most likely be going to Fiji! I am kind of excited about that! I looked into all of the work areas on the Peace Corps website for the Pacific Islands and Fiji is the only one that seems to have a work area description pertaining to Protected Areas Management. So, yay! If I get to live in Fiji for two years I will be in heaven. I was afraid of living in a remote village with no market/store/vehicle and the islanders wearing (or more like "not wearing") tribal attire. The pictures I found on google showed loin clothes and topless women in Tonga and Vanuatu. I'm not really sure, I guess I would make the best of it! Well, enough for now! I met a lot of really neat people today and I am excited about what lies ahead! Oh yeah, I also got my packet for the health and dental screening so I will be doing that for the next few weeks to further the process. I was told that I would receive a phone call and invitation around the beginning of April and leave mid-June. We will see! Talk to you later! -Me
