Ah zomg it's reeeeeeeeal!

I ran a few errands this morning, and came home with the urge to make phone calls. I had to call and get the number to fax my latest lady doctor-findings to Peace Corps, and then had to call the lady doctor clinic to get said findings faxed. My last call was to the staging people to find out when, precisely, I'd be sent my official departure date.

I had the number dialed into my phone, and just as I was about to hit the green button, something told me to stop and check if the instructions had arrived via email. I obliged the little voice, and by george, my staging instructions were there! I received a little itinerary regarding what will occur at staging (meetings, meetings and more meetings), what I should wear to staging (business casual, for all those meetings), where I'd be hanging my hat at the end of the day (the Holiday Inn), etc. I received two other forms to print, fill out and bring with me to staging (Peace Corps loves pushing paper)

The email insist that I call the travel people immediately to make flight arrangements to my staging location in Philadelphia. I obliged the email, and called right then and there. I was given the choice of two flights, both leaving on 2 March. I had to choose the flight that leaves DTW at 6:45a. Masha'Allah.

But, folks, there you have it. I leave for Philadelphia on 2 March, attend some meetings, spend the night worrying about everything, and then flying out to Casablanca on 3 March. Wow.

In other news, today starts my last week of work. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, a double on Thursday, and then I'm DONE! Double wow.

I'll be posting more once this all sinks in.
