I thought the same thing...

My thoughts exactly while watching the half time show during the superbowl (I didn't make the image).

Yo Voy Caminando...

I feel like I'm finally making some headway through the Peace Corps rat race. It's been a huge help having my querida cousin walk me through the different processes and being the lone positive voice in the "wilderness." It seems like a lot of people either don't want me to leave or think that it's going to take forever. My cousin knows how vulnerable this whole process makes a person feel. It's hard knowing that you want to go, that there is a village waiting for you, that the U.S. government wants you to go and yet there are so many potential mistakes that could set a person back by months.

I sent my medical information in about two weeks ago and have already had my dental assessed and deemed acceptable. All that is needed now is for a nurse to look at my physical and psychological state of mind to decide if I'm worth investing thousands of dollars in.

It appears that my estimated departure date will be in the early summer. Stay tuned for more information as it surfaces.
