So I think I mentioned awhile ago that I applied for the Peace Corps and then I kind of just stopped talking about it. I'm kind of afraid that if I talk too much about what's going on with the Peace Corps and really let on how excited I am about this possibility that I'm going to jinks myself or something like that and I'm not going to get in. But I thought I should just give a little update about where I am in the Peace Corps application process.
Over my spring break, I had an interview and shortly after that I received a nomination for the education program. A nomination isn't a guarantee that I'll get in, but it's a pretty good sign. So what's going on now is that the medical people with the Peace Corps are looking over my health history form to see if they need anymore information from me and I've sent in a couple of copies of my fingerprints for a background check. Seeing as my health history is a couple of broken bones and a pair of dental implants, I'm not really expecting that they'll need much more information from me. The background checks can take between two and six weeks to finish and then after that and my health history have been cleared, all my information will go to the head administrative team and they will look through it, maybe contact me and ask me a few questions and then they will make the final decision.
I'm not expecting to hear from the Peace Corps for at least another month or two, but I'll keep you posted!
