The final countdown has begun. The days have quite literally flown by and it seems like only yesterday that the Peace Corps called me and asked if I wouldn't mind serving in a Portuguese-speaking country.
Last weekend, fellow PC Mozambique volunteer Greg was in San Diego! We met randomly at a conference in Washington, D.C. in one of the breakout groups for student government members (turns out he was a student body president too) and, surprisingly, kept in touch because we had both applied for the Peace Corps and were due to leave this summer. Turns out we were both given the same assignment and country! Community Health Promoter in Mozambique. The world is eerily small sometimes. But it was a great weekend and thanks to Greg, I'm feeling calmer about heading into the unknown, since now it doesn't seem like so much of a blind leap into a world of absolute strangers.
I'm going to be in San Diego until Wednesday the 23rd, at which point I'll be leaving for home and won't be back until Sunday the 27th, the day before I leave for the great adventure. San Diego really is a beautiful city and I look forward to coming back someday, but until then, I'll live up the last few days of perfect weather :)
