Peace Corp Timeline:

Thanks for the comments on the last post. I am glad to know that people might actually read this! I have seen many other bloggers put their "Peace Corp Timeline" in their blog and I thought I would put mine as well because I am trying to avoid studying for finals. Also, a few updates: I received my OFFICIAL nomination letter in the mail. I am still waiting for my medical package to get here and I don't know when that will be, but I made my doctor and dentist appointments for June 2.

I was sure to tell the voice on the other line that this would be a VERY extensive and in-depth medical and dental exam and that I HAVE to be with my doctor and there will be TONS of paperwork that we will fill out TOGETHER. Luckily, they were very nice and squeezed me in where they could. I have a feeling June 2 will not be one of my favorite days.....Dental exam at 8am and medical exam at 3pm.

(Omg, PC just called while I was writing this. My medical packet is on it's way and should be here within a week.......)
