So just watched "Dancing with the Stars" for the first time and now viewing GG for the several hundredth. America! Is it so wrong that I'm more than a little concerned about missing the apparently epic (according to certain internet sources) finale? Is it too much to hope that my Nicaraguan host family are avid Gossip Girl fans who are at this moment planning a big GG finale party for this upcoming Monday night? I don't think so.
Tomorrow (at 6 a.m. Yay!) my plane leaves for DC where I will meet all the other Peace Corps volunteers headed to Nicaragua. Then we have some horrid schedule where we check into the hotel at noon, do some sort of seminar till 7, and then check out of said hotel at 1 a.m. to head over to the airport for a flight that doesn't leave till like 6:30 a.m., which is just disgusting. They must have their reasons, though. I guess I'm all packed, but really packing for 2 years of your life is pretty much a crap-shoot. I'm super nervous/excited about this trip. Mostly concerned that my lack of Spanish and/or lack of roughing it experience will make this a mess. At the very least, me trying to run around a third world country where I don't speak the language should be high comedy. I'll try and keep up with this blog fairly regularly, should have internet for the next few days at least during training. We're in a hotel in Managua till Saturday. Make sure you leave comments every once in a while if you're reading, so I know I'm not just writing this to myself! Need to start getting ready for bed. Love you all!
