Ahhh Peace Corps. We have a hate love relationship at this point. I hate waiting yet you love it. You hate reviewing paperwork and I love knowing its not my fault.
I remember reading other people's blogs about telling others about their invitations, I remember reading posts on Yahoo! about people getting their invites, and I remember a time when I was hopeful that I'd get my invite soon. Week 11...c'mon! "You'll hear something shorty" just keeps going through my head over and over. I knew my stuff wasn't on the top of the list but it should be kinda close at this point.
Oh well...it reminds me of a plaque my grandmother has in her kitchen that says "God grant me patience, but please hurry!"
What makes it worse is that everyone and their brother knows I'm doing the Peace Corps. They all know that I'm supposed to leave next year. They all know that I was going through the medical process. So they all assumed that by now I'd know for certain where and when I'd be going. Example, an email from my friend Ang "hey how's the Peace Corps stuff going? I remembered thinking that you said you should know this month". I told her I would probably know something in two months, my bad.
My responses are starting to become possible lies. I say possible because I've no idea. I tell people June and Azerbaijan. Those two are a bit arbitrary. I came to the conclusion that it's probably going to be Azerbaijan because of some clues (see previous posts) and my nomination is for June and I don't think it'll be changed. I wonder if my excitement would change when I receive the invite letter saying that? Doubtful.
I'm starting to come up with ideas of things to do for projects. In a year I'll probably be able to actually DO them yet I've got an idea. Weird.
Anywho, this blog is getting in may way of waiting for contact with the PC. :-)
Until next time

Have they even let you know if everything is complete? I am nominated to serve in W. Africa beginning June 2007, just sent my medical packet off today, and though I know I won't be cleared for awhile I would at least like to know if I sent everything they need. Well, good luck and hopefully you hear something soon!
Dave,
They've not even looked at my file yet! Well they may have since then but at that point nope. You sent in your packet at just the right time.
