Email from Medical Assistant

I emailed my medical assistant last Thursday. I wanted to let them know that I have yet to receive the letter I was suppose to be expecting. She emailed me today saying that I have received full medical clearance. Now, I just have to wait while the placement office decides where I will work.

No sign of letter

It has almost been three weeks since I received an update from the Peace Corps. The update was letting me know that my medical evaluation was complete and that I was to expect a letter with the results. I spoke with several peace corps applicants that received the same message. All of the them said they received their letter within a matter of days.

If I can remember to do so, I will call the Medical Office tomorrow.

If anything come out of it, I will post it.

First Post

My name is Beau. I'm a 24 year old PhD student at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I have studied math all through my college career (BS and MS in Applied Mathematics), so I'm kind of a big nerd. I am currently in the process of joining the Peace Corps. My Peace Corps Timeline is to the right. I would love to teach high school math somewhere in Africa. Hopefully I will be in Africa in six or seven short months.

This is my first blog. I'm not usually a blogger, but I think I need to start getting use to it if I'm going to be in Africa for a while. I have a big test tomorrow, so I will end this now.

As Peace Corps updates come up, I will post them.

Good night

Oh, and by the way: I have a strange infatuation with Africa. I have been in love with Africa for as long as I can remember.
