things are happening

I called the Peace Corps today to officially accept my assignment. It's happening!
The woman I spoke with told me to fill out my visa and passport applications and send them off right away. I FedExed them today.
The next step is to update my resume and write and aspiration statement to send off to Guinea.
Tomorrow I am visiting the dentist to get another filling on a tooth that is not a cavity, but has potential. That will complete my dental clearance and then I can get my staging tickets.

I am also reading a lot of information in the Guinea Welcome book, which is available at:
