Another Update

I'm still waiting for medical clearance, but in between finals, check-outs, etc. I've been doing more research into my possible assignment. Apparently Michigan University has a web page that details all the program types available in Peace Corps assignments. Details including the general job outline, personal requirements, and possible countries.

Here's the link to the page I think relates to my nomination:

So this provides more evidence against my assignment being in Ghana. But you never know. I guess I'll just have to wait for clearance to find out. Not that I want to wait anymore. I mean, I've read about a couple people being medically cleared the day after the Peace Corps received their medical packet. That's just amazing. Some people I've met have waited for months and even a year to get clearance (they had medical issues to clear up) and here they are getting cleared the very next day. I don't envision having any issues that'll hold me up once the nurses start looking through my forms. Right now I'm just waiting for them to pull my folder out of the pile. I'm guessing they're still going through the paperwork of those people whose programs are scheduled to leave in July. The good news is that they're aren't any programs leaving in August. So, once they finish up with the July people, they can start working on those of us leaving in September.

As much as I don't want to have to wait any longer...I have no choice in the matter. Based on my research on the subject (of which you should know is very extrensive), I'll most likely have to wait until June before I hear anything. I know June is pretty close (and so is my B-day...22...scary), but it isn't close enough in my mind. I know I'm not alone in this. Every single Peace Corps nominee feels this way. We all just want to know.

The sad thing is that once I know where I'll be going, I'll most likely be avidly awaiting the departure date...
