Today, my last letter of reference was turned in by Ange ... and I'm so glad that I asked her, as she wrote 250 "words", not "characters", just like it asked. Really, she is a smart person, as are most of my friends. I give her some leeway as she has had a rough couple months.
I keep telling people it really hit me last week when the recruiter (previous a volunteer in Turkmenistan) took my fingerprints. The process seemed to be moving a little faster than I thought, which is okay by me, as I hate waiting on people to get my work done (just ask any previous coworker of mine). So now I wait to hear what region and program I will be working for -- should find out by the end of the week if all goes well.
Have had lots of support from friends and ... well, friends. Mom and Dad are always thrilled when their son quits his job, sell his furniture and travels half way around the world to live on the floor. I understand their concerns.
So when a person decides to make sort of a big decision, like this one (or Law/Med school, marriage, etc.) everyone asks a mother load of questions, you know, all the Why?, When?, Where? and How?'s, so I've decided not to answer anyone of those, excpet one: I'm doing it cause I want to. For other reasons, go to their website.
