I have FINALLY received medical clearance from the Office of Medical Services! Thank goodness!
Life update - so what have I been doing while I wait? Well, I did not get that receptionist job but I did apply for a temporary position as a field surveyor. We'll see how that turns out, but I suspect that I will have more vacation time than I bargained for. I have been volunteering at Heartland Alliance for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it! The students are mostly Hispanic and the ones I work with are in either Level 1 or 2. I have been learning a bunch just from my different tutoring sessions, experiences I will definitely bring to my Peace Corps service.
I've also been babysitting my cousin's baby, watching more TV shows, meeting other Peace Corps nominees, fulfilling my jury duty for the year, hanging out with friends, attending graduation parties, buying manga and dvd sets, and seeing the Wonder Girls and 2PM live in person! This is my second time seeing 2PM, but I didn't really appreciate the first time because of the whole scandal thing going on. They were really popular with the crowd (I think most of the fangirls went to the concert for them). The girls themselves were pretty good, considering all the traveling they've been doing and the fact that they had to conduct their concert not only with a new member but in a foreign language. Props to them!
I am heading to Buffy's home town, apparently, to hang out with my sister for the next two weeks. Should be lots of fun and filled with delicious food to report on!
