The medical process has been progressing slowly, but at least the end is in sight. I had my physical last week, which included drawing 6 vials of blood, and had everything from A-Zed tested (I'm happy to say I'm very healthy - not even elevated cholesterol!). I got boosters for polio and MMR on Monday and my arm is finally feeling normal. I went to the optomotrist, got new specs, and have one final medical appointment in two weeks. After that, I can send everything in.
That's been all so far... my birthday was yesterday and I have a lot planned for this weekend - it's only Thursday morning and I'm already checked out of work.
As a backup plan in case Peace Corps falls through, or I end up deciding not to go, I'm also applying to a few grad schools. I'm looking into Masters programs in Public Policy and International Development and have a few schools picked out - University of Maryland College Park, American University, and maybe NYU. The GRE is in Decemeber so I've been trying to brush up on my math skills for that (or lack thereof).
I'll update again when I send my medical evaluation to DC!
