From Past to Present

I guess I should catch you guys up to speed.

"Pete, why are you joining the PC?"
-I made two great college decisions (and many more poor ones).  One was to rush SigEp and the other was to study abroad.  I spent over three months in Granada, Spain and it was beyond amazing.  I learned to love exploring new cultures, speaking a different language, and meeting new people.  The PC, I'm hoping, is going to be studying abroad, on crack.

"What are you going to do for 27 months?"
-Great question.  I have no idea.  I was nominated (fancy way of saying I'd make a good PC volunteer) on May 26th.  Since then, my eyes, teeth and rest of me were deemed fit for service.  At this time, I still haven't received my official assignment which tells me where, when, and what I'll be doing.  Most likely I'll be:
  • Going to Central or South America.  That means pretty much between Mexico and Paraguay.
  • Leaving between February or March.
  • Doing business advising.  I'm going to be paired with an entrepreneur who has a business idea that would help the community and is sustainable.
 The assignment should be coming any day now so cross your fingers!
