Getting Closer?

Another call from the Seattle Peace Corpse Recruitment Office today. Seems as if the fields have been narrowed a bit. I received my formal nomination as a Youth Developer somewhere in Asia, but no more info as to which country. It could either be Mongolia, Cambodia, Thailand, China, or the Philippines. So much for all that French, German, and Latin I took all throughout school :-P Apparently, I'll be leaving mid-July. My file carries on the the D.C. office and I should be getting the medical packet in the mail either before or after the holiday (Thanksgiving). I'm continually reminded by my recruiter that nothing is set in stone. I understand why, but it bugs me to keep hearing that.

Long Time No See

It's been a while since I've heard from my recruiter, but today I finally heard from her. She is looking at programs in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, or Asia. I'm quite keen on Eastern Europe, but I will be completely stoked to go to either or. I won't hear back 'til the end of the month, or possibly sometime next month. I'll have to just sit and chill 'til then. It has felt like so long, I almost forgot that I even applied for the Peace Corps. Today was a re-awakening. Until then.......
