Good News!!

Today was a day filled with good news from the Peace Corps!

First, this morning I called the PC travel agency and got my flight info settled. I'm leaving on the 21st at about noon and arriving in Philadelphia at around 10 PM, with a stopover in Nashville. All of that makes it seem like it's really real and is really going to happen.

The next bit of excitement was that I will not be delayed because of my Hypothyroid! Yay! I do have to make sure to have it checked out once I've been in Benin for about 2 weeks (which will be two months after I started taking the medication, so it's really just a check-up), but I won't be delayed! Yay!

Really the one down point in my day was that I started packing in earnest, so my room now looks like an alcoholic lives here due to all of the liqueur boxes piled high (they do make the best packing boxes though!- so good and sturdy!). And now that I have my flight info I can pretty safely say that I can take my guitar with me to Benin without too much of a problem, although Delta did say to have it in a hard case, which worries me... Oh well, I guess there is always something to fret over!

One more week in my Seattle apartment :( I sure will miss it, from Babar upstairs to the drunks in the alley, but especially I will miss my roommate Marie and my half-roommate Andrew! And maybe my super-huge closet too!
