More waiting.

Since I've been so frustrated watching everybody get their invitations but me, I decided to be proactive and give the PC a call. I mean, maybe that would get them going on reviewing my medical info so that they can finally clear me and send me the invite, right? Nope. The guy looked up my file and told me it would come by August 1. Oh great. Just four weeks to go.

Peeved.

Even though I had been extremely anxious and jumpy about getting my invitation in the mail, I was starting to calm down and accept the fact that it'll come eventually. So I logged onto the yahoo group today only to find out that more people are recieving their invitations and one person just got an invitation for OCTOBER! I'm leaving in SEPTEMBER! How is this fair?!

On a more positive note (and I do feel the need to put one in here), I have been working long shifts, so now I get 3-day weekends. It is awesome. Great for the summer.

Still waiting.

According to some postings on the Yahoo Peace Corps group, "most" September Eastern Europe nominees have recieved their invitations. So where is mine?!

Anyway on a happier note, I got my dental clearance today. I guess my teeth are Peace Corps-worthy. I can't wait to get to [insert country here] and start putting up pictures of my adventures and interesting stories of what I have seen and done every day.

Working a 9-5 really sucks! I hate to say this but I wish I was back in school. School is a lot of work around midterms and finals, but it is so interesting all the rest of the time. You learn cool stuff and feel your gray matter expanding. At work I am just a robot, mechanically shuffling papers or typing meaningless words. Yay for books, though. At least I can learn cool stuff on my own. But still, the real world kinda bites.
