So I talked to the Peace Corps yesterday and they told me that I won't be able to go until next spring. I would be going to an African country still but this time it won't be a country where they speak a romance language, I'll be learning a local language. I'm kind of intrigued.

I'm actually not as frustrated as I thought I would be. I'll be going sometime between April-June and I am officially placed in a program so I don't have to worry about being bumped out again. So, the plan right now is to move to Boston on October 1st and find a job. I also sent an email to that friend of my mom's friend who is building a resort in Patagonia in Chile, so maybe I'll spend a couple of months in Chile this winter too...

So, hopefully Obama wins in November and the Peace Corps will still exist next spring because who knows what McCain will do to it.

Last weekend was fun! I'll come visit sometime again. After you all left Erin, Diddy, and I saw Mr. Big from Sex and the City walking around 10th Ave. We walked about 50 blocks, I bought beads at an amazing bead store, and then little Shakespeare accompanied us to a Japanese restaurant in the village and we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset.
