INVITE in the mail!!!!

I received my official invite on march 4th!.. I am headed to central or south america working sustainable agriculture and food security leaving early may.. from the research I have done this looks to be Nicaragua leaving May 10th!!! leaving three days after receiving my diploma!!!!! anybody else leaving at this time?

legally cleared check.. updated resume check.. invite... waiting..

so.. the legal issue wasn't anything.. they wanted to make sure that i wasn't an alcoholic sneaking my way into the peace corps.. i got an email today asking for an updated resume and an official transcript... so, i just sent my resume in and the transcript part is a work in progress.. the ball is back in their court again and hopefully i'll be finding out where i'm heading soon!!!

medically cleared!!... waiting on legal

okay, so i have been addicted to peace corps journals and peace corps wiki websites the last four months so i figured i would start this whole blogging business.. my application process has looked as the following..

september 22 - submitted online application

november 2 - interview

november 29 - nominated to sub-sahara africa leaving in june 2011 working in agriculture extension

january 7th - sent medical packet to dc

late january - dental complete / legal hold

march 1- medical complete / legal still on hold

i received an email earlier requiring me to fill out a questionnaire on my drug and alcohol behavior... ha yikes.. 

back in 2008, tailgating at a football game i was spotted by a training iowa state campus officer who saw me holding a beer. didn't think this one would come back to bite me in the ass.. as a result i was given a PAULA ( possession of alcohol under legal age ). so........

if all goes well and this is passed i could know where i am headed within a few weeks!!

extremely excited!

has anyone else dealt with any issues like this or am i the only irresponsible 19 year old?!?
