"YOU'RE ON THE BUS"

He signed the form. Crisis averted. I thought I wasn't going to be able to go to work in Chaguitillo, Nicaragua after all the time I spent making my decision. I was deconsolada for the past weekend, with every one asking "Molly, what's your plan B?" " I don't have one, all second and third choices are taken." This morning, Jose asked me to verify where I was going and i couldn't because I hadn't hear form anyone. I e-mailed some students who've gone and come back from Nicaragua and asked them If my padres could contact them... SO then in class we're learning about the four modes of language and Jose comes up to me shows me a fax w/ my dads signature and says " you're on the bus" I was soooo happy- still am.

I decide to do my project in Nicaragua kind of at the last minute because I hadn't done very much research on Nicaragua until the last two days before we had to make our decisions.... I'd done most of my reading about locations in Costa Rica- I'd been having a really hard time making a decision and when I had finally finished all of my reading I only needed to asked a few more questions of the coordinators to make my decision. I asked about the community, the family, and where would be best to improve my Spanish- and which location has the most need. All of these questions led me to my decision to go to Nicaragua. Because I spent so much time on that choice- I knew it was really what I wanted to do. (I'm not being forced to go to Nicaragua Mom). NOW I cannot wait. I need to buy some more long pants and bug spray but I'm really really excited. Less than a week... less than a week.
