Flights Booked

I got the call 6:15 this morning.
Me: heeellllllo?
Travel Guy: Hi this the Peace Corps travel agency. We'd like to arrange your flight to Washington D.C. on June 8 to meet with your staging group before you leave for Tanzania.
Me: mmmhmmmm
TG: Where will you be departing from ?
Me: Burbank, California
TG: oh no! it must be what?...... like 6:15 over there?
Me: yes, definitely 6:15

really? is this guy new? the time change isn't.
so anyhow. its booked. the last thing to be done is done. so I'm really going and its starting to hit me a little bit. I'm nervous. 27 months is a long time. and Swahili is a very different language. and its hot there. i get hot easily. i tend to complain a lot too. did i put that in my application? i hope they have someone there to handle people like me. if they don't, this might be a much shorter trip than anticipated.

but i'm sure i'll be ok. as long as i have enough sudoku's, crime novels, and prozac i'm sure i'll make it out just fine. besides, this is what i wanted. something where i get to meet people from a totally different world than mine and something that is a little bit hard.
