tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I leave tomorrow.

Today, my iPod broke, so luckily I made over 50 CDs to bring with me. Those darn iPods cause more trouble than they're worth. I'm kind of happy to not be bringing it with me. But on another note, I decided I will be bringing my laptop with me. I've heard that some villages have generators which are on for a couple hours a night and I could charge my laptop there. And if I don't want it in my village, I can leave it in the Peace Corps office in the capitol. Since Delilah (my computer) is so old and slow, I don't really mind if she stops working over there. I probably wouldn't use her when I got back anyway. And I have the space to take her with me so why not? Plus this way, if she does work, I can type up emails and blog posts before I go to internet cafes and then maybe save time/ money by just copying and pasting emails.

If you haven't sent me mail yet, you probably should. I've heard the first 6 weeks or so can be pretty lonely if people wait until you leave to send you mail.

I'll be in Los Angeles until Thursday night doing staging. I'm not exactly sure what will take place there but I know I'll learn about different policies and procedures and I'll turn in all of my paperwork. I am so unbelievably excited to meet everyone in my training group (20B)! I arrive in LA at 2 pm tomorrow and Peace Corps stuff doesn't start until Wednesday morning so I'm not really sure what I'll be doing in the afternoon, probably just getting to know the other volunteers. I will have my cell phone in LA and will be leaving it there; so if you were meaning to call me before I left and you just didn't have time, you still have time for the next couple days.
