Unexpected Delay

Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call for the Peace Corps headquarters in D.C. and they informed me that unfortunately my entire training class has been delayed because the Mauritanian government is refusing to issue Americans visas at the moment.  There is some pretty major political tension in the country right now so Peace Corps is hoping that after the elections take place in July we'll be issued our visas and be able to head out in August. 

I kind of had a small feeling something like this might happen because a guy who is over there right now has been keeping me posted and has alluded to the issue, but it didn't make the phone call any less frustrating.  I had already said all my goodbyes, and now it looks like I'll be going round two in a few months.  I'm trying to not sweat the small stuff because it's totally out of my hands, but now I need to find something to do this summer.  Anybody want to hire a recent college grad for the summer???

So what does this mean for me?  Two more months in Virginia Beach.  More time to practice my French.  And on the plus side I get to play softball with my church team for a little bit longer (I know Bob will be happy)

 Anybody up for a beach day? Seriously, come visit!!!
