been ignoring the blog and most other peace corps matters for awhile now...but for a good reason, focusing on studying for the MCAT which is Jan. 30th, then after that I'll be full-time packing and getting ready.
since I got back from Costa Rica (where I spent the first week of 2010, visiting my sister who is studying abroad there for the year, excellent trip) I sent my passport in the day after I got back with the PC passport and visa apps. And in addition to studying I'm currently ironing out some of the student loan deferrals...so that coupled with studying is not exciting at all, can't wait to have it over and get to packing and preparing to leave. Most recent email from the PC said orientation is March 8th in Arlington, VA.
Hey Eric, thanks for the comment. Whatever I felt about the article or about PC in general, I'm still here and I'm still doing this and I'm still giving this a shot. [We've almost been in Africa 6 months!]
ReplyDeleteSo...it comes down to PC being whatever you make of it, I guess (I think, I don't know yet, I won't know til long after it's done).
Your attitude of taking that article as a challenge/motivation is a smart way to tackle this experience. See you sometime after March!
