Nomination

So I recieved my Offical nomination from PC last thursday wow! I am excited it has yet to sink in. It all feels very surreal. So here is my post from Facebook: Hiya All! My day began rather badly, I was sick with a sinius infection, and just found out I couldnt regiser for classes b/c testing services did not remove my CLAST hold though i passed the test. Which I am still extremely proud of! Anyway I had to drop off a transcript at my recruiters office. He asks me a few times if I am really open to go anywhere and I say yes, well of coarse ..thinking omg where is he sending me.. its going to be Mongolia I know it. I get a call or three from him later that day saying he found a program for me. First he thought about public health, but gave me the optin to decide between that and teaching English . Well I chose English naturally. Then he calls back and says ok we can't put you in a program teaching University level English, though he thought I could pull it off, DC wasnt so sure. So now I have been offically nominated for East/Southeast Asia or Central Asia. The Peace corps divides it into two regions and I will be teaching English at the k-12 level. YAY! Its not what I had in mind, but feel that the placemnt couldn't be more exciting. Ok so are probably wondering (like me!) what are the countries I could serve in. They are: Thailand, Mongolia, China, Phillipines, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic I feel like its moving so quickly. But hey I am over the moon big time!!!! Now all i have to do is get medically and dentally cleared for my region and I am off! So wish me luck on my adventure!!
