When I was thirteen and leaving middle school, I made two rules for myself:
1) I would never shave my legs.
2) I would never start a blog.
Times have changed. I've gotten older, thinner, and hairier. Maybe 13-year old Ryan would have a few choice words for me if I went back to see him now, like "Who the hell are you and why are you in my room?"
I guess I'll never know.
What I do know is that, in the next couple of weeks, I'll be departing the US and heading to South Africa as a Resource Specialist for the Peace Corps. I'll be teaching math to students in SA, and working with some of the teachers on outcome based learning. This blog'll give me and you (yes, YOU!) a chance to connect, and allow me to share some of the culture and my new life with friends and loved ones back home.
I'm excited, anxious and terrified. And now I'm blogging about it.
...Yikes.

P.S. I still haven't broken rule number 1 yet. No promises, though.

I'll be serving in the US Peace Corps in South Africa. This will give you a glimpse into my new life and culture. The views presented here do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Peace Corps. Duh.
