aintbrokeI have about three lj entries I want to write, but that's too many topics even for me to undertake at once. SO: Let's stick to the really important ones.
Firstly: On Saturday, I cut my hair. As I am wont to do. I wish I had a better reason, but the fact of the matter is, I have been willfully postponing my impulsive hair chopping since I went to Canada. That, for me, is a really long time. Let me just say that those thirty seconds I used to have to spend combing my hair are now mine to use for more productive endeavors.
Secondly: I talked to my Peace Corps Placement person on Thursday, saying very politely: IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE WEEK SINCE I GOT MY MEDICAL CLEARANCE AND I AM GOING TO CRY, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I AM GOING. (Only, with less caps lock.)
He told me that I missed actually being sent for the program I was nominated for by two whole days, and that therefore, I was going to be leaving to a STILL undetermined country some time in the July-September range. Which, I would rather be leaving sooner than that, but I was evidently nominated for Eastern Europe/Central Asia, which of all the world world I am least excited about. But, he told me that I should be hearing something soon (emphasis his).
Today, at five fifteen, I got a call from another PO, who said "so, can you be ready to leave for Latin America on June twenty-sixth?"
Um. YES. Yes, a lot? Evidently, I can expect the formal invitation into my grubby little hands by Friday.
Pretty much, I win at everything.
