Good Afternoon,
Almost four weeks since my last post. I feel bad I haven't taken the time to write on it, but it's been a exciting and tense month. But I'm back on the keyboard!!! Your welcome...j/k. Well a lot has happened in these few weeks, I will be as through as possible. Originally it was supposed to be a three part process but it became a 4 part process and more. These is the timeline:
May 2013
Email
This email was sent by my country desk officer , she wanted me to finish the following courses:
Security Orientation
Core Expectations Orientation
Both are courses taken online regarding "what to do scenarios" and our Core Expectations from Peace Corps. It takes about 1-2 hours to finish.
June 2013
Email
I got another email from my country desk officer with information on various subjects such as:
Family Letter
Address of were to receive mail, contact and emergency information and a few paragraphs of encouragement for your family.
Logistics
This letter talks about information on how, who, when, where once we arrive in Costa Rica and the training site, gives you an idea of everything once in country.
Country Desk Letter
Letter giving you overall information about what to do before departure and new information.
Mentor Program
The most important one, this one gets you in contact with a PCV that currently works in the same project as you will. I had a chance to be emailing with him for some time. Asking questions from what to take to what is your usual day. He has been very helpful, I really appreciate his promptness and time in answering my emails. At the beginning he answered very fast, but now somewhat slow, he's probably tired of my questions haha. No worries 5 days to go!!!
Staging
After a few days after this email, I got another one from Staging. This email basically tells you everything about flight schedules, hotel, travel plans, baggage and setting up your flight through SATO. I called them, got my confirmation number and I will be leaving on July 7, 2013 a day before staging. This is pretty cool, because it gives me a couple hours before Registration to go and visit Washington, D.C. "When in Rome"...
What Happened/ing in June!
- I gave my two weeks notice, yeah!!! I'm currently unemployed haha. Nice breather.
