The time has come!!!

I did it! I have officially submitted my Peace Corps Application!! Wow, this feeling is exhilarating...I could bounce of my bedroom walls for hours!

Now the next step I have to do is follow up on my recommendations. One is on its way and the other two have just started. They have a month from today to get them in so hopefully they will get some time to complete them soon.

I don't really know what else to say besides I AM SOOO EXCITED! Hopefully this excitement can last for the 9-12 month application process. As of Day 1 - STOKED!

Welcome to my Peace Corps blog! Right now I am in the last stage of finishing my application. Have to do some final editing on my last essay and then I will be ready to hit that hope filled submit button on the application page. I have three great recommendations lined up which will hopefully be finished soon as well.

I intend to keep a play by play record of my application process here so that everyone can experience the pain, the anguish, and hopefully the joy of going from a lowly dreamer, to a nominated/invited Volunteer!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. I'm sure it's going to be a little bumpy :)
