Invitation has arrived

So today I got my invitation. I'm not in town, but I got many calls from my sister, brother, and mom. I was at work at the time so i couldn't call until later. I called my mom and told her to go ahead and open the package, and to tell me what country they were going to send me too. I was invited to serve in..................................
MOZAMBIQUE!!!  I was invited to be a biology teacher, very cool. Luckily my mom and sister are visiting me this weekend, and they will bring along my blue packet, so I will be able to read about the peace corps and Mozambique. Exciting time are on the horizon

Finally!!!

This has been a crazy Peace Corps week! Monday I received an email from my placement officer. She basically told me that she was looking through my application, and thinks I would be a great fit for a position as a secondary science teacher, and that she found a program that she thought I would fit in. She wanted me to answer a few questions about how I feel leaving my friends and family, living in different conditions, the challenges for the Peace Corps. You know the standard Peace Corps questions. Then she wrote that my original nomination had been closed due to funding. Which made me a little sad and disappointed. I really wanted to go to a Spanish speaking country. She told me that most of  the Science Ed positions are heading to Africa. I was a little unsure about this, and my parents expressed that they were unsure too. I decided that I can't be picky with where they sent me, Africa may not be my first choice, but it would still be a very cool experience. I responded to the email questions last night, and today I received a email from placement saying that I'm cleared for placement and my invitation will arrive within 3-5 days. Exciting!! My placement officer said that the position that she wants me to go to  is in Africa and leaves at the end of September, according to Peace Corps Wiki that country would be Mozambique. I automatically started researching, and learned that they speak Portuguese, which I think would be so cool. Will see where I'm actually going in a few days. That's all the news for now... Night
