Nomination

On Friday I received my nomination to joining the Peace Corps ! I had my secondary interview over the phone with the Chicago Offices and after the end of the whole interview she gave me a couple options regarding projects available. I ended up choosing to volunteer in a Health Program in Central/South America working on a Men's Health Project. I will be one of 10 volunteers working on the is project in a country unknown to me so far. My leave date is Feb 2007. This is a whole lot later then when I wanted to initially leave but I am happy nonetheless for my nomination. The Chicago Offices said that they would put in my file that I wanted to leave earlier but there are really no guarantees. The next step is my Medical and Dental Clearance which they said could take as long as 4 months!!!! But whatever, I am in now the waiting game starts. I am super excited and look forward to my invitation which will probably come in a couple months and then I will know alot more details.

That is for now... I'll post the latest when I hear more from the Peace Corps.
