Here we go!

I can already tell that this application process is going to be a major part of my life for the next few months! I got my first email from Peace Corps staff this morning saying that I had passed the initial screening and would soon be contacted about transcripts (done!), financial obligations (free as a bird!), and recommendations. I heard within my minutes from my recommenders that they had received the recommendation forms. By the end of the day, two had been completed, but unfortunately, my third recommender is out of the country for more than a week, so I'm not sure when all of my recommendations will be complete. I'm really going to be diligent about trying to speed along the process as much as possible by helping out those who are helping me. Hopefully I'll be able to update next week that all of my recommendations have been completed and that  I've spoken with the Assessment Specialist.
