The final picture here is jus da bros. I suppose it actually isn't jus da bros, but you get the point. See women on the left, my mother and some random. My mom thought it would be a great idea for people to toast my departure, so she asked who wanted to start. Will naturally decided he would go first, and quoted the movie Alexander, saying "I have known many men in my life, but only one colossus." Thanks Will. I like to think he was referring to my supinator, though I realize that probably wasn't what he was referring to. Pat (aka Nemo) then spoke up, announcing to my mother that the reason he wasn't worried I would come back from Jamaica a stoner was that I had cried at my only point of exposure. The story was a lie. Thank you, Patrick. Riley then said something about how I am really good at soccer, which although sarcastic, took the prize for nicest thing said by default.
Tomorrow I formally register as a Peace Corps Trainee, and spend the next two days going over basics and filling out forms. July 3rd I fly to Kingston and begin two months of training, so things are starting to pick up. I don't know if I will have internet access immediately when I get there, so I plan on making a flurry of phone calls before leaving the country to say goodbye to those I haven't seen recently. I will find out my exact assignment and location sometime in the next week... stay tuned for updates!
Bye for now...
