One thing that the Peace Corps teaching you, is Patience. That patience starts with the application process...
I am now getting really impatient in the process because I am so close to the finish. I know that my medical is all in place to be cleared and the next step is the actual Placement process. I cannot wait! Part of this is being accelerated by my time in London coming to a close. This transition is going to be very difficult for me and I am already trying not to think about it. Here's to hoping I get some good news in the next few days! FINGERS CROSSED.

Medical Clearance
Hey there!
So I am currently knee-deep in the arduous task of completing my Medical Clearance for the Peace Corps. As I am currently residing in the United Kingdom, each step seems to take 3 extra, and most immunizations have to be translated (yes translated) or explained, or special ordered…it is exhausting but I know it will be worth it when it comes down to the assignment.
This is the final step before I am given my official invitation, which will contain my country and project and departure date!
I received my nomination the end of June, so it has been a busy couple of months. I have been informed by the Dentist that I will need my wisdom teeth taken out, which is of course a 3 month waiting list to get it done on the NHS. I am a little hesitant to get any form of oral surgery done in the land of Bad Teeth, but what can you do…it’s free. Anyway…some day soon I will submit my medical forms and I will be cleared and have my assignment! Fingers Crossed..
