The life and times of a PCV in the Philippines.
According to the USPS, my medical paperwork finally arrived in DC. I only mailed it priority mail last Tuesday, way to go USPS- you certainly do know how to put a rush on when it’s appropriate. I don’t even want to think about how long I’d be waiting if I’d Read More …
I sent out my medical paperwork via Priority Mail on Tuesday, with delivery confirmation. As of yet, its status is “Accepted” by the post office. No word about delivery. 2-3 days have come and gone and I’m getting a bit irked. Washington DC is not that far away, I can Read More …
After what seems like forever, I finally mailed in all of my medical paperwork to the peace corps office today. I was waiting on one last test result to come in. They called me with the results this morning, I drove right on over and got myself a copy before Read More …
I really must get to sleep, so I can get up early and go to the doctor. And then another. And then another. I have to get my immunizations updated on my PC paperwork and inquire into some test results which haven’t materialized and are the last thing that I’m Read More …
This afternoon I sent out a care package for Julia. The lady at the post office made me fill out some form that I’ve never had to fill out before. Maybe it’ll arrive faster than usual. I think two weeks is the current record. It’s kinda fun putting together stuff Read More …
I have one more dotor’s appointment to make and I can mail in all of my medical paperwork to the peace corps. I really need to get on that, because I don’t want my medical clearance to take ages and I miss my window because I wasn’t on the ball Read More …
So, I had my nomination phone interview thingie about 10 minutes ago. And after talking with my recruiter about what’s available and when, she has put in a nomination for me to go to non-French Africa to teach English in November. So, now I have to do all the medical Read More …
I got an email from my peace corps recruiter. All of my paperwork has arrived (minus the updated finantial aid stuff, which is still waiting on a return phone call from the MSU finantial Aid office- BOO!) and it’s time to set up a time for my phone/nomination interview. Hopefully Read More …
I mailed in the rest of my peace corps stuff today: fingerprints, background check consent form, skills addendem forms, copies of my first aid/cpr certification and tefl certificate I also found out that my last recommendation submitted today. That means that I just have to sit tight and wait for Read More …
So, I don’t think that I dream very often and I certainly don’t remember my dreams but once or twice a year- but this morning I woke up from an odd one. I dreamed that I was at something for school, I don’t know what, and it looked oddly like Read More …
I had my initial interview for the Peace Corps today. I think that it went pretty well, I felt good about it and I was first up on a long day of interviews. I was all spiffed up in my only suit and hot new blue shirt- the woman at Read More …
