For anyone reading this blog from the beginning: Hello. I'm Sarah, and this entry isn't really dated January 2008, it's December 17 2008.
I'm a 22-year-old University of Pittsburgh grad (nonfiction writing and Spanish), a writer currently polishing the rough draft of a novel, and a huge nerd. But mostly, I'm a girl hungry for adventure and experience in this great big world.
I just found out yesterday that I will be going to Ecuador to serve for 27 months in the Peace Corps as an Agriculture volunteer. I know that as I was applying I searched high and low for any blogs that detailed the application process, that showed me what other people went through and how they were feeling along the way. So I'm pulling all of the entries from my Livejournal account that deal with the Peace Corps and posting them, dated from when they were originally posted, on my Peace Corps only journal.
My Peace Corps journey began last year, so that's when this blog will start. I hope that anyone out there who is thinking of joining, is applying, or has joined the Peace Corps will find interesting and fun stories within this journal. Oh, and family and friends too, of course. This is mainly for them.
If you want to leave a message, please do! I am always up for making new friends. If you are in Ecuador or are going to be, let me know. You never know where life may take you.

Let's get started!
