It's 8am, local time. In a little over 2 hours (or probably by the time you read this), I'll officially be a Peace Corps Volunteer. Then, we celebrate. I'll move into my villa either this weekend or at the beginning of the week. The general plan is: Swear-In Ceremony at the Embassy from 10-11, Lunch/Party at the American Club from 11-5, then a stop by the hotels and dinner and such later (including drinks at the Pirates Club and No Stress much, much later).
Also, I successfully finished the 1st draft of a novel in under 3 weeks. The first draft isn't anything great, but I wrote it in 3 weeks, it shouldn't be anything great. I'll say this much more about the story: it's entirely in 1st person except for the last chapter. I'm torn about whether I want to keep it that way or make the whole thing 3rd person to include more perspectives (the way it's written, it's literally impossible for the final chapter to be in 1st person).
I'll write more at some point. For now, I need to pack up and get ready for the Embassy.
