Moldova Invite!!!

It is finally official. I can rest easy tonight knowing that I have finally reached the mountaintop, an official Peace Corps invitation to serve in the Eastern European country of Moldova. The country was actually surprising because it wasn't a surprise. I had been expected an invitation for Moldova for so long now that I had convinced myself that in the end I would receive an invite to another country.

The packet that comes with the invitation is very official and is awfully meaty. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. I went through it all rather quick and was happy that it was very well organized and was thankful that although the packet is a monster the actual amount of paperwork I need to do is really nothing more than sending invitation acceptance email to Peace Corps, filing online for a Peace Corps passport, and emailing yet another resume and aspiration statement to Peace Corps. In this case I guess it is unfair to call it paperwork since none of it is really filled out on paper...Although there is real paperwork I still have to complete but it is not required until staging.

I'll sleep very well tonight indeed...and if the coming snow storm happens to delay school or cancel it altogether I will be a very happy and well rested person tomorrow.

Update: Snow storms are awesome and I am VERY well rested.
