Suddenly this random hope of mine is becoming a reality

My interview went fantastically! She showed up half an hour late and because of this I think she was eager to be friendly and open, and I nailed the questions. We talked for about an hour, and I am happy that I studied the questions beforehand, they were exactly what I thought they would be. I made sure to be extra enthusiastic and I know she made note of it. She said that I should get a call from the head recruiter in New York in a week or less with my nomination!

Right now, my top choices are:
Latin America/Carribean (aka Spanish speaking country)
Water Sanitation first choice, aka bringing clean water to a village, building wells and latrines, and teaching about sanitation and health
Agriculture second choice, creating sustainable crops and teaching about new ways to plant and harvest
(Both are exciting because I can work with my hands in a more structured environment than Community Development, my third choice.)
Leaving at the beginning of next year, probably early February.

This is really happening; I am really going to join the Peace Corps. Let's see what I get!
