Again it has been three months since I last posted, because there have been very few updates. In mid-May I had been told that I should receive my invitation by the end of June, but that month came and went with not a word from Peace Corps. I wrote to them on July 1 of course and received somewhat of a crushing response. My provisional departure date had been moved back from September 2013 to January 2013 because the original program I was allotted a space in had been filled. I was told that I should receive my invitation in September. More waiting...
On August 7, I got an email from my placement officer introducing herself and saying that the Peace Corps is considering placing me in a group that would leave sometime between January and June 2014. I cringed at the thought of even having to wait until June 2014. I filled out the short paperwork needed confirming that my legal, medical, and financial situations had not changed since my applications and affirmed that I am willing to serve wherever the Peace Corps decides to assign me.
Wherever...right? Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, yeah, wherever! Well, SURPRISE!!!
To be continued...
