In the beginning

My name is Matt I just graduated from Utah State University with a BS in Anthropology and a BS in Economics. About 2 years ago I got close to a life changing experience in which I would have to give up my dreams of adventure. So i decided, what better of an adventure would the Peace Corps be? So last summer I buckled down and got to work on my application. I completed everything in about 3 months and have been waiting patiently ever since. I was nominated into a agribusiness program in Eastern Europe which leaves the first of June.
I noticed many other hopeful applicants were creating blog about their experiences so I have decided that this would be a good opportunity for me to share my thoughts about the whole process.
As of right now I am more anxious to get a firm grasp on what country I will be going to than the actual experience as a whole, but I'm positive that will change once I get in the groove my new life with out school for the next 6 months.
