I received an e-mail last week that my recruiter would be in town and doing multiple info sessions. I went to the only one I was free for- the 6:30 session at Green Valley Library. I hadn't met my recruiter until tonight, but her southern accent and voice made her incredibly recognizable. I, being the overly punctual being that I am, arrived at the session a half hour early but, thankfully, I was not the first person there. I introduced myself to Elene the recruiter and informed her that she nominated and that I was on the brink of submitting my medical kit. Upon learning these two tidbits of information, she asked that I talk about the nominee/applicant side of the process, to which I agreed.
During my mini-speech, I let the room know about the PC Journals and PC Wiki sites since I know that PC isn't supposed to tell people about the sites. I let them know how incredibly helpful reading the journals are to the process and learning about being a volunteer. It was nice to see everyone bust out their new PC pens and jot down the sites I mentioned.
I don't feel that I learned much new information regarding PC, but I did learn that there is a RPCV group in town (which quite surprised me). Plus, I got a little book full of stories and anecdotes from volunteers which I am excited to read.
And now for something completely different:
Titers came back today! I am picking that shit up tomorrow and getting my medical mailed before work!! I have my excited face on.
Wow! A lot has happened here since I read your blog last. I'm glad you're still going through with it, as I am a wuss and chickened out temporarily!xo
