Shopping!

Went shopping today in Albuquerque with my benefactor who has so graciously agreed to outfit my Peace Corp experience...aka. grandma. We went to several shops where I got a couple Nalgene water bottles in girly pink and purple. A Juice Leatherman again in girly purple, some rain ponchos, a sleeping bag, a super hardcore 3rd world country water purifier, iodine tablets just incase, some hard core 40% DEET mosquito repellent, and various other odds and ends. I still need more things but could get them here cheaper. The camping stores we went to were so awesome, I got rid of all my camping gear in college but mark my words I will eventually resupply myself.

All in all it was a pretty nice day. I have gotten more info from the Peace Corps and I am busily trying to get all of my shit together. I have also been talking to various other volunteers who are going with me in my group. They are all super excited. I however am not. I am still really dissapointed about Mongolia. And I am not happy about going to a country that is this anti-American, but hey pretty much every country is anti-American so mabey I should stop bitching. It is just going to be so much more challenging which is what the Peace Corps is supposed to be I guess. Its funny too because everyone has their opinion about the Peace Corps which I really do not care to hear people! I am trying to prepair myself the best ways that I know how and it is not easy for me to be here in Santa Fe. I am glad to be in the Peace Corps but this waiting, waiting, waiting is driving me nuts. So what to do....? Well.... There is a new zombie movie out tonight and those of you who know me know that I am a zombie fan. The movie is of course made by the Lord of the Zombies himself....George A. Romero. Consequently I found out recently that one of my ex-boyfriends from way back now works on B-Rate horror and Zombie movies. Interesting.
