I'm a real peace corps volunteer!


hi!

we had our swear-in ceremony on Tuesday and now i am a real peace corps volunteer! i am going back to my village within the next week and i am so excited! however today i have to go see a dermatologist because i have some funky skin rash that the Peace Corps doctor has never seen before. i'll let you know how that goes. other than that life after live-in was pretty relaxing. we had our final language classes and now we are just filling out paper work and getting ready for the next two years. thanks for all your support! i miss you all!


oh i have a new address:

I in our swear-in outfits. yes i am wearing giant chickens on my outfit because when else can i wear chickens all over my body at a very serious event? hopefully more pictures will come
