I've found my new obsession. I've deprived myself of sleep these past two nights to try and get a hang of this blogging thing and I think I've almost mastered it. How do you like the new background? Anyone can comment..I changed the settings. So let me know! If you liked the old one, I'll consider bringing it back. I figured I would tie in the whole "Beech" theme :)
This is definitely NOT going to help with my procrastination....

Patience is a virtue.
I've never blogged before, but I figured since every other future Peace Corps volunteer is doing it, I might as well jump on the bandwagon. This is kind of an exciting venture for me, and I'm anxious to see what will become of this. Thanks for taking the time to read this, considering you could be doing something a lot more productive with your time, like watching Glee, or Jersey Shore?
I'm an open book. I don't hold much back, and I wear my heart on my sleeve. But I've been really good at hiding my mounting anxiety on the anticipation of my potential invitation into the Peace Corps. I've been waiting for this moment since I was in high school, since that's when I first realized that this was definitely something I wanted to do. Did I think I would actually go through with it? Absolutely not. Even my mother was in disbelief that I actually hopped on plane for my first "big girl" interview, let alone fill out the application.
It's been a long year...and my patience is dwindling.
There hasn't been a day, hour, or minute that I haven't thought of the outcome of this process. I've literally set any future plans on hold because my immediate future depends on this decision. I think this is where my anxiety comes from. I haven't studied for the GRE (which I need to do regardless), I need to figure out my living situation after graduation (I would rather not move home), and I didn't apply to Grad School. Woops! I guess putting all my eggs in one basket may not have been the best idea, but there are no regrets. Don't worry, I have a plan B...& C.
Come Friday, it will be one YEAR since I submitted my Peace Corps application. Normally this process takes 9-10 months but since as you may know, I'm the definition of a procrastinator. It's taken longer than I anticipated. After receiving an e-mail from my PC (Peace Corps) Placement Assistant to send her an updated resume and some other paperwork, I've finally submitted it, 5 days later. Again, procrastination.
I should be getting a call hopefully within the next two weeks. And that's when I find out! Until then, the wait continues.
