This is the day!!

This is the day that I'm going to walk into my boss' office and tell him I quit. I have to quit my job so that I can embark on the exciting new journey that is the Peace Corps. What a glorious day it is...well, except for one thing. I don't have an invitation yet. So, I'm not quitting my job because daddy has bills to pay. I'm apparently not going to make my original nomination. The problem is that I was already emotionally invested in the idea that I would be quitting my job this week to leave on some date in July, maybe August, to some vague Spanish speaking country doing something or other for some company or co-op or something. The details weren't exactly rock solid but I sure was banking on them. I'm looking on the bright side though. I got an email yesterday saying that my file was being passed on to a placement specialist. I should look to be contacted within 4-6 weeks. The email also said to continue gaining experience and be flexible in where I'm willing to go. Of course that's my plan. I really don't mind being told that I won't depart until January. I just want to know something so that I can make plans...even if I'm stateside for another six months. Hopefully some news will come quickly.
