Yes, I'm Repetitive
Dear God, I might say this every day....at least a lot...but I sure as hell think it every damn day.
I can't WAIT to reactivate my application and finally leave for the Peace Corps!
Sure I'm nervous, but all in all, I feel really good about this. I'll have some strong experience under my belt and be able to really give them great answers about why I declined & deactivated the first time and better explain what I want this time.
Some things I've thought about:
- I really prefer EE/CA, NA/ME, and Africa (pref non-francophone)
- I'd be willing to go to Pacific & Asia
- I'd be okay with the Caribbean
- I don't want to go to Latin America, I have realized that.
- I really want to do TEFL (I should be able to once I reactivate and have that TEFL teaching experience)
- I'd be willing to do Youth Development, Community Development, or Health Extension
- El Salvador, despite it looking ideal, it was not ideal for me, I wouldn't have thrived there which is key to succeeding in the PC. If I don't thrive, I won't succeed. I strongly believe I made the right decision and know that even though the invitation process is somewhat of a lottery, that the next invitation will be right, it'll be great.
- My contact with English First will be up in January '10, I'm debating giving them a first available to leave date to be in January or February '10.
- I'm beyond excited to get the ball rolling again!

Hey Jenna - I'd love to see you in Saint Lucia!
It's a tough adjustment, but well worth what you get back.
