Pure Speculation

Since we have all of this time to wait before we can even hear about programs we may be nominated for, I've devoted myself to re-reading everything I've read about the Peace Corps online, including blogs, journals and groups regarding depature dates and specific programs. During the interveiw our recruiter suggested that I really consider University teacher training and/or teaching, or think about it anyways and that William consider the possibility of Environmental Education. These were two programs we were iffy about, I wasn't too keen on University teacher training and he wasn't too keen on Environmental Education, although we wouldn't mind doing such things. So today I was reading a journal kept by a volunteer in China who is serving with her husband- they are both doing education, one University TEFL and the other Environment. Random. Then I remembered that some months ago someone has started a new group for Peace Corps China, which I immediately checked out, which led me to the Yahoo Peace Corps China group where I discovered that there seems to be a plethora of couples serving in China- doing University TEFL and Environmental Education.

Could it be that our recruiter knew of such opportunities and thought he'd encourage us to consider programs that only 2 days ago we were indifferent about? Based on my bit of research it seems like the China programs leave at the end of June or early July. How perfect would it be if we got nominated to serve in China????

Of course this is some hard-core speculation and lots of wishful thinking, but I've the time to do so. We can dream can't we?
