Update on Nomination

So I recieved my nomination on June 12, 2012. However, I do not know where I was nominated for. The Peace Corps is in the process of chaning the application form(s), mainly for medical, which is my next step. So until that process is completed on August 15th, I will not hear anything further. I am a bit upset about it all, but I'm also trying to think about it being what's best. This time will allow me to get my wisdom teeth pulled and the root canal I need. It also gives me time to pay some bills. But there is a down side, I so ready to get out of here. I want to leave and experience something new. Had I known I wouldn't leave until 2013, I could have went ahead and applied for Advance Standing Master's of Scoial Work Program and had I been submitted into the program, I could have had my Master's degree by May of 2013. But now it is too late and I've decided just to take a course or two at State College of Florida, which after recieveing my A.A. from them, you think would be a bit easier than it has been. I have to reapply, even though I took two courses there last fall and recieved a degree from there. I also have to submit an offical transcript from FGCU and resubmit a Florida Residency form (for the third time in four years). It's becoming a lot of work, just to take classes for fun or to be a Non-Degree Seeking student. Well that is about it for now. Hopefully August will be here soon, so that I can get on with the next step of the Peace Corps process.

Starting new

Today is June 2nd and I am patiently waiting to hear about my nomination from the Peace Corps. I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself and my decision to join the Peace Coprs. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's of Social Work. I am currently working in a childcare center as a substitute teacher. My passions do include children and travel. I have traveled a lot throughout my 23 years. A few summers ago I had the opportunity to travel to Uganda ans Ethiopia. Since that trip, I knew I wanted to be a world traveler. About 3 or 4 years ago I first looked into the Peace Corps, however did not have the experience or education quite yet. Sometime last fall my parents asked if I had thought about the Peace Corps, it was at that time I knew it would be okay to begin the process of applying. I waited a few months, then in late December I began the process. I knew it would be a long process, however I didn't except to be waiting on my nomination for almost 4 months now. My recuriter had told me back in February during my interview I should hear from him in May. Well May has come and gone and nothing. I emailed my recuriter half pway thriugh May and he said he hopes I hear from him in the biginning of June, so hear I am patiently awaiting my nomination. I hope to hear and will share when I do.
