Last weeks in Furfax

12 days til departure, and now that the GRE test has been taken, the scores received and my mind freed from memorizing useless vocab and math equations, I can finally sit back and enjoy these last days in the States. I say sit back, though I've had lots to do what with seeing friends, frequent trips to the city and trying to make the most of my time here. This weekend I rediscovered my glorious hometown of Fairfax with a trip to the National Firearms Museum, part of my Kevin Miniter-sponsored day o' fun... notice the millions of guns in the background. The guy taking this picture was another museumgoer, except he actually took the exhibits seriously. Needless to say, he wasn't impressed with our shooting fingers.

I heart Delaware

It's been awhile since my last posting so I figure now's a good a time as any, considering I'm in Wilmington, DE, for the next week and therefore have plenty more time to think and muse. I should be studying for the GRE (which I am officially taking in 11 days), but I can't expect to study for hours on end for a test I'm not too concerned of ace-ing or not. I'm also looking at the staging kit I got this week-- it says we'll have our 2-day staging in DC, which is just great since it'll give me at least a little more time to see friends and fam before I head out. To summarize, here's the basic info on my PC assignment:

Official title: Business/IT Volunteer
Job description: yet to be written! From what I gather, I will be involved in a business pilot project in the country, teaching business and Junior Achievement-type concepts to students in some sort of school setting. Vague as can be, but I'm thrilled nonetheless.
Staging event: DC, 2/12-2/14/07
Training in Tegucigalpa: Feb.-May 07
PC assignment (location tbd): May 07-May 09
