Good Karma

I got my finger printing done and will submit all of my paperwork to Ryan, my recruiter on Tuesday. The women who finger printed me, said I would have good karma for doing the Peace Corps. I hope so!
I got my application toolkit information the other day. This allows me to track my apps online. Did it come in the mail?? No of coarse not. I called the Atlanta office and got it by mail after it was late. Turns out the Peace Corps had my address listed incorrectly. This was after I changed it about four times. Also according to my toolkit I do not have any of my refrences submited. Although all three of them have been. I will see Ryan on tuesday and will straighten things out then.
With my address snafu, I can only wonder what else was wrong on my application. Hopefully, not much.
I attempted to edit my pervious post, though I tried it would not work. Boo ! so unfortunatly I am stuck with a slightly incoherent history fact.

I am off to try and study.
So wish me luck

History Fact of the Day:
The Luddites were a group of weavers who were replaced by machinery durning the Inudstrial Revolution. In response to this, the Luddites broke various weaving machines so they could work again.
We use the term now to refer to people who do not like or embrace technology, for example using a typwriter and not computer. This is inacurate. The Luddites were not against technology, but rather unemployment.
Now, we need to find a new term for people who anti-technology . Any ideas?
