Haha, yeah, there's a lot of angst and stupidity and such in those notes.
Well...you have a couple years in the peace corps to think about the rest of your plans? If you ultimately decide to do something else, you'll probably be at the perfect point to do that after getting out of the Peace Corps regardless. I don't really get the appeal of a family, exactly, but that's me. And yeah, I'm all for doing what you want and not worrying about disappointing anyone. I don't think you can disappoint me, though, haha.
Oh, btw, Jason says the Peace Corps is really anal about psychological issues, and if you bring them up, you're likely to get delays and requests for papers from your doctor and shit, even if you mention things like "I saw a counselor while in college." And most people who end up waiting around for an assignment for long periods of time in general are people with medical problems. At least, that is the rumor, and I feel obligated to pass along rumors.
