202 please call....

Okay so I have a dental, medical, and legal clearance for the Peace Corps which is great news. I have sent a updated resume to the PC which means I should shortly be making the transition from nominee to invitee. But this is easier said than done I received a email stating that my application has been sent to a Placement Officer so I have been anxiously awaiting that phone call from a 202 area code for about a week now. I am hoping this phone call will come some time early next week. 

Also along with this delay in contact from my Placement Officer I think my departure time for April 2011 has been moved back a month or so. Which gives me a little extra time to make those necessary adjustments for 27 months aboard.

Last week I completed my first 1/2 marathon which is something I wanted to do before I left for the PC; now that I have finished this challenge I am ready for the next major goal in my life. That goal is to be apart of the PC I feel that I have prepared myself the best way I know how to start this next journey of my life. Just getting ready for that phone interview with the Placement Officer hehehe.

202 please call ring ring....soon fingers crossed
I'll keep everyone posted            

Step by Step....

As a Peace Corps applicant I am constantly waiting for those 2am or so emails that come through my cell phone stating that I your application has been updated. About a week ago I got a status update that stated your medical review has been completed and I should be looking for a letter in the mail. First thing that came to mind was great now another waiting game here we go. Well about 4 days later (due to the weekend) got a letter in the mail from OMS (Office of Medical Services) stating that they are pleased to inform me that I have been medically qualified for services.

Yah yah. I have now been moved to the process of the Office of Placement. Now I am waiting (again) to hear from a Placement Officer. Knowing that my departure date is in April 2011 I assume it will be sooner than later (but we all know what happens when we assume about the PC) hehe but anyways just venting on this lovely lengthy process dealing with the PC. I am just anxious to find out where I will be the next 27 months. And how successful I will be in such a great organization.

I'm just hoping that all this tears, sweat, and blood (literally) will pay off and get me to where I want to be in my life and career.

Just waiting on the next step....
