Calling In To Be Official

I called the Peace Corps Office today to tell them that I would like to accept the invitation to serve in Ukraine. I got an answering machine! I thought that was pretty funny, I am hoping they will call me back tomorrow, if not, no big deal, I'll just call again. It is exciting (and a little nerve wracking!) for everything to be this official.

I learned my first Ukrainian word yesterday too! It is pronounced fKOOsney, and means "tasty" which I think will help me when I have to decline meat-based food, but can recover by saying that the (blank) was very tasty. hehe, although I am assuming that I will know a little more Ukrainian or Russian (yeah, still don't know which one!) by the time I am eating with my host family. Hopefully!

More updates to come here as they come to me!
