Staging

Hello. Now I have finally given away my blog address in a mass e-mail, so I assume I have at least... five followers (Mum, Dad, Cat, Jason, Vasav). Okay, I bet more of you might be reading, but oh well.

I'm at staging in Philadelphia right now. All I have to say, I'm SO happy I'm here right now. Everyone has been so amazing and awesome thus far. I have a room to myself, but so does the guy next door (his name is John), so we opened our doors and made a monster suite. John is a really cool guy who speaks Russian. He's offered to help me learn. Very cool indeed.

So Mum made me some popovers this morning, and then I had some last minute rearranging to do. Then a lot of sadness, a goodbye to my kitty, and a final time in my own room and bathroom. We drove to Philly and ate at a Chili's in King of Prussia before heading over to the Radisson. I went through registration to officially be a Peace Corps Trainee. Then we had 5 hours of meetings. At the end of all that a group of us went out for dinner and drinks at the Cheesecake Factory.

Tomorrow we get on the plane. The adventure begins...
