Cape Verde in July

Last night I dreamt that our recruiter had called us to offer us a nomination for Cape Verde in July. Another couple had turned down their offer, so it was ours to take. It was so real, I believed it was happening all the way up until I woke up in the darkness of my room and not Cape Verde getting harrassed by locals. I had woken up during the dream, which is why I thought it was real.

I love dreams like that. I must admit I was losing hope about getting nominated for something, just because November is a long ways away to wait for the possibility of getting nominated. I had to check my email as soon as I was showered and dressed. I served myself a bowl of cereal and sat down to see if by any chance our recruiter has written us. Tuesdays are good email days here because it is Monday evening in America and emails have been sent and waiting in my inbox while I slept throughout the night. To my surprise there was an email from our recruiter, it read: Update. I went crazy fro 2 whole seconds thinking about what this update could be. I read it and it was just to inform us that he had sent in our LongBioData form to the placement office and from what he understands us, along with all other couples around the world are eligible to be allocated into programs which already exist or will be created. This LongBioData ordeal seems to be an attempt to 'streamline' the couple's application process, as this is something new. Does this mean that programs are already out and we just have to wait or what? He said placement will be getting back to him in 1 week or 2 or else we'd have to wait for the next quarter. I'm assuming this 'next quarter' means the one we are already waiting for.

I really don't see why couple's can only be nominated quarterly when everyone else is getting nominated right and left and sometimes right away. Surely they must know what's out there. Who knows.

I think with the combination of programs we qualify for, something good must come along. I basically qualify for 3 TEFL/training progams and Will qualifies for 3 additional programs. That's got to get us somewhere. It just has to. I'm sure we won't be going to Latin America, that's for sure. Most likely not Africa, as I don't think they teach English in non-francophone Africa. Maybe Eastern Europe, Central Asia or Asia. Or even...Cabo Verde.

It's all to do with good karma.
