As of about 6:00PM yesterday I am an official Peace Corps volunteer. Our swearing in ceremony was held in the Peace Corps compound here in Conakry. It was fun with speeches made by our country director and a representative from the Guinean government. Our group decided to have matching outfits made for the ceremony out of the "squiggly monster" pattern (see picture below). I also made an audio recording of the actual swearing in when we took the oath. After the ceremony we had an impromptu dance party and ate ice cream and brownies! It feels good to be done with training but I'm definitely going to miss seeing the other volunteers everyday. We will be leaving for our sites in a few days so we're really savoring these last few days together...
