Just Beginning

Well, I am just beginning to embark on my Peace Corps journey and I have a long time ahead of me before I actually get to go anywhere. I received my nomination this week: Environmental Education in central Asia. Thats all I know. Funny thing is, if you go to the Peace Corps website and look up the central Asian countries, none of them list Environment as one of the work areas. There are five or six Eastern European countries that do, but no central asian ones....hmmm.

Oh well, I decided tonight after spending all my waking hours scouring the internet for Peace Corps information, that it is time to let go and allow information to to trickle down to me in that slow bureacratic way. With that said, if you are reading this and happen to know anything about Environmental Education in Central Asia, or just happen to know of some good sites from central Asia volunteers in general please let me know!

I have been spending a lot of time reading articles and online journals from peacecorpsonline--some are really heartening and inspiring, others not so much. I am trying to not let the negative become discouraging or disillusioning, while at the same time realizing that negative things will happen eventually. I just have to remember to approach those times with the right attitude and frame of mind.

Well I guess thats about all I have to say right now. I just wanted to get this thing up and running, and even if nobody is reading it it helps to get some of this stuff off my chest. Posts will be infrequent for a while most likely, but hopefully more often and more entertaining as the time approaches.
