Let me express how pleased I was to find out that my depart date for the Peace Corps was March 13th. This is because my teaching contract is over on March 12th. This seems like a perfect situation, other than how rapid the whole situation would be. Then today I got an email from the staging unit that I would be leaving on the 11th. However, I cannot leave that day, and especially not at 6am, which is when the travel agency booked me even after I expressed that I would not be able to fly at that time. I met them half-way and said that I could fly in the pm, which would allow me to get to Philadelphia by the early registration time on the morning of the 12th - when I should honestly still be teaching, or at least holding conferences with my students.
As I am tying this, I just got an email with a request to take a later flight and arrive in PA on the morning of the 12th, which I can swing. I quickly found the email that stated the 13th of March as my date of departure and also emailed the guy making the decision to give him some background. I hope that being organized and preemptive will allow me to get the situation sorted.
I know this isn't freewriting because I'm writing for an audience, but I will tell that I doubt that too many people will come across this blog. I'm doing it for me, and so the click-klack on the keyboard is more of a personal outlet. I write and put my frustrations on the paper, and there they remain.
There is an obvious solution to the above situation, and it should work out - I'm hopeful.
