I'm a little sad

I wrote out and attempted to post another entry yesterday but it has apparently been lost somewhere in cyberspace. Speaking of things being lost, my invitation has been officially declared lost in the mail. When I called the DC office they didn't seem too concerned about the whole thing. In theory, a new packet should be in route. The entire conversation lasted less than three minutes. That actually made me more nervous because I'm worried they will give my spot away (seeing that its been 2.5 weeks since the original one was mailed and we are supposed to respond within 10 days).

I read on the FB group for future volunteers that when the toolkit updates to notify you of your invite, it also tells you the country the invite is for. My toolkit has decided not to play that game. It has a void where the country name is supposed to be. This is a little discouraging.

In other news, I purchased a backpack, sleeping bag and a card game. The pack is Eagle Creek and kicks ass. The card game is called Rage (from the makers of Uno). I played it every summer at a lake house in Alabama growing up. For the longest time you couldn't buy this game in the states. Luckily the card gods have decided to release it on Amazon.com for $5.99. I can't wait to teach this game to my host family!

Until my packet arrives I am going to try and keep myself as busy as possible. Thursday, I'm heading to Busch Gardens for some roller coaster therapy. Hasta pronto.
