Hopes and Fears

So, I've heard that the trick to surviving the Peace Corps is to go in with no expectations, however, I've already had to do an aspiration statement where I talk all about what I expect to do for Togo. How am I supposed to know if I can really change anything or if they'll even listen to me there? So switching gears, I've come up with a new list, of how I hope to improve myself over the next two years.
My new goals to focus on:

Become fluent in French (or a native language, or both)
Have a dream in said language
Learn to balance large objects on my head while I walk
Hone my letter writing/calligraphy skills
Spend time stargazing out in the middle of nowhere
Shake my booty like a real African woman
Master my bargaining skills
Kill my own meal (maybe...)
Find a nice Togolese boy (or maybe an expat, but no French boys, Grandma doesn't approve)
Dedicate more time to painting and drawing
Get better at photography
Travel around Africa
Ride a horse (doesn't really have anything to do with Togo, but I just want to)
Cultivate a detachment from all my stuff

Yup, seems do-able.
And then there are my fears:

That I start looking like a homeless person, which according to other volunteers is a real possibility
That I get lost in the jungle, in my mind another real possibility, considering how often I get lost driving here, with road signs, and a GPS
That I wont find anywhere to blow-dry my hair

And my sister's fear:

That the combination of my clumsiness and the "dangers of Africa" will lead to my demise

Let's hope not...
