Long way to go

Preparing for the future is hard. In fact I don't think you can. It seems to be a "do what you can" sort of process. And everything else is left to fate. Today I have made the choice to go into the Peace Corps. Well that is if they accept me. I just turned in my medical and dental papers and let me tell you, they gave me five shots and took a ton of blood. Lucky I'm not HIV positive and I don't have herpes.

There is a lot more to the Peace Corps application process then the forms that you most fill out. The application process in itself is a test of endurance and patience. I think they do that on purpose. I know I struggled with the idea of getting a job and paying off the student loans after I graduate. Actually, I continue to struggle with it. That's way today is important to me. I have decided that if Peace Corps gives me an assignment. I'm going.

That feels good.
