Oops!
I spoke way to soon on the grant stuff. I found out yesterday that my grant is not being funded on a technicality, that USAID doesn't fund US registered NGOs. A fact which any number of people could have told me at least a month ago but didn't figure it out til the day funding decsions were being made. So there goes two months of hard work and giving my self an ulcer over the stress. I am trying to look on the bright side in that now I can apply for a grant in the next round in two weeks for my school instead of doing a different type of grant. But I am pissed and it really isn't truly anyone's fault. It was all doomed from the beginning but I am mad becasue there isn't even anything to learn from this situation, I was asked to do this grant, I did it, but it was always never going to happen. (insert a temporary case of Terets syndrome here).

Sorry to hear about the disappointment. It sounds like you learned about writing grants, though, right? I'm totally jealous of your peace corps drinking and conversation parties! Try to save up some of that good stuff till I can get there!!
