First off, I want to introduce myself in case anyone who is reading this doesn't know who I am.
My name is Sarah, I'm 22 years old, and I just graduated from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas with a degree in Marketing. I'm leaving for Bulgaria with the Peace Corps in July for 27 months to be a Community and Organizational Development Volunteer and I'm so excited/nervous/stressed about it! It's been a long process thats taken me over a year...a year of thinking, praying, talking with returned volunteers, and talking with friends and family. I suspect that I've talked to a majority of you who are reading this blog about this decision and I want to thank you for listening and for all your advice and support.
Hopefully this blog will stay up-to-date with information and pictures of my time in Bulgaria, but I don't make any promises!
So far this summer I've been learning the Bulgarian alphabet and basic words, which is craziness! Tonight I was reading one of the lessons that Peace Corps sent me and it says that Bulgarian is an easy language to learn for English speakers, which got my hopes up a little....but then I actually started looking at the letters, which are quite frightening! And then I downloaded tonight's evening news cast from Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, which definitely scared me! Luckily I don't have much planned this summer except for getting ready to leave, so I've got plenty of time.

Hey good to hear from you! This is my first time using blogger as well, but there's a button on the toolbar at the top of the page that says "Customize" nd with that you can add larger pictures to the side of the blog, along with links and other stuff. I hope that helps! If not, just leave another comment haha...
Drop me a line on facebook or something - there's a couple others from our group on there as well.
Hey!! Thanks for commenting! I totally hear you on the whole language thing... it pretty much tops my list of nervousness! Can't wait to meet you in a couple months!
Looking forward to it, Sarah!
okay, so your name is Sarah?
Oh my goodness, you must be getting so excited. Have you gone to Vegas yet? If so, how was it? If not, when is that happening?
