I had a dream the night before last that I got invited to the Peace Corps, in February to be a hemophyll drawer and driver. Highly inaccurate.

I did get an e-mail yesterday (Saturday!) evening as I was cooking dinner. It contained two forms for me to fill out: an Ag skills addendum and a more complicated Romantic Involvement Questionnaire. I filled them out last night (no romantic involvement, that is easy) and sent them back. Theoretically now, my file will be passed on to the Placement office and... ???

Je suis heureuse.

Latest updates: I went to the dentist one last time to get a few more X-rays, which turned out to be a multi-hour ordeal. I sent them in and was dentally cleared within a few days.

So. I am medically, dentally & legally cleared. My nomination is for 4 months from now. They are processing nominees leaving in the next 4 months. Will I hear tomorrow? Will I hear in August?

Senegal just got posted with a leave date of August 10th. My current availability date is August 15th (although I need to call my PO and tell her I could leave August 1st, or earlier, though at this late date it will probably not make a difference). So, Senegal, another time perhaps. It's been nice daydreaming about you. Let's part as friends.

Who will it be? Cameroon? Malawi? Mozambique? I'll be here. Waiting. Daydreaming.

Love,
Z

Received an e-mail today telling me that there is an update to my Peace Corps application. It was this:

Medical: Complete. A decision has been reached regarding your medical review. Please look for a letter in the mail.

Ha ha ha. I knew that it would be like this, but somehow I keep believing that I will know more sooner. But I am excited. One teeny tiny step closer at a time.
