Medically Cleared, Kinda...

0 comments
Okay, so on one of the follow up sheets I had for my medical, my doctor worded something wrong (according to the Peace Corps). I just have to have her say the same statement, but replace one word (ha!) and I'm medically cleared. I will post again, when it's official...

UPDATE: I sent in the fax, so I am cleared... finally. We'll see how long my invite takes.

Still No Invite!

0 comments
It's been almost two months and I'm still not medically cleared and no invite. They had some issues with my medical clearance and I had some follow up tests. I went back to my doctor last week with what appear to be worksheets for her to justify that I am healthy. Hopefully when I get all my results back, I'll be cleared immediately and get an invite... immediately.

My severance pay from AOL, is officially gone! Oh well, I have had one amazing summer up to this point. I've been up to Boston, Colorado Springs, California, Vero Beach, and OBX . Last weekend I had two of my best friends wedding, which was awesome. We had a great weekend, the intense heat cooled for the actual wedding and Bonnie looked amazing. I think all of us groomsmen were more nervous than Paul, he was cool as could possibly be. I'll have to post pictures when I get them. It was also a great wedding because I was able to see so many people that I never get to see. One of these people was my favorite professor from Longwood; Dr. K. We talked for a while and she was excited about where I was in the process.

Okay, back to the Peace Corps... I don't know where I'm going. I had originally thought maybe Tanzania or Zambia (just guesses) and I was almost positive I was going to East Africa, but now I see that a lot of the Agriculture programs are in Francophone Africa. Not going to get my hopes up about anywhere and am going to try to stop thinking about it until I get my invite.

That's enough for today, I'll write again when my medicals done and sent in, maybe I'll have news of an invite???
