Some Good(ish) News

So today I had a phone interview with the my Peace Corps Africa Placement Officer. I think that the interview went well, and that's the good news. The "ish" news is that I still don't get to find out where (and when) exactly I am going. Because of some Medical Issues (nothing serious), they have to make sure that I can be close enough to get checked regularly and also get my medication; I'm not really sure what this entails, but apparently it takes 2-3 weeks. At this point I hope it ONLY takes 3-4 weeks. In the meantime, I thought I would give everyone an idea of the time line that this has taken (and it will also remind me that 2-3 weeks is NOT a long period of time).

February 2008: Begin On-line Application
April 2008: Submit On-line Application
April 2008: Submit On-line Medical Application
May-August 2008: Compile and Submit Medical Application

October 2008: Peace Corps In-Office Interview
October 2008: Nominated with Medical Hold
January 2009: Submitted Final Transcripts
March 5, 2009: Phone Interview

So that is my complete (up to now) Peace Corps Experience, paper work can be fun...right?
