Waiting...

Still waiting on a placement, I had to list preferences last week, most likely I'll be in Miaoli County.  I don't have dates yet either.  I still have days when I get somewhat anxious that I'm doing the right thing, but then I snap out of it and realize I'll be in a place where it's warm year round.  Today I discussed food with some of my coworkers.  I'm not a really "adventurous" when it comes to food, the most exotic food I've ever tasted has probably been kangaroo in Australia.  But I have a feeling my tastes are about to change rapidly.  Yesterday I made a pact with several of my Tale of Two Cities Delegates, if they try escargot while we're in France, I'll try some too.  What was I thinking?
