Reimbursement

I got my check for a whopping $12 today! Yay.

Also phoned to let my APO that I would be out of town with sporadic email access. I was half hoping he'd say, "While you're on the phone, let me go ahead and do your invite." No such luck.

It turns out that the people who are receiving invites now were pretty much all originally scheduled for another date and got pushed back, so that's making me feel a little better. More waiting.

Teehee

I got a letter today from the regional recruitment office. It was very friendly, advised me that my medical packet would be coming soon, and that I should go ahead and schedule the doctor's appointments.

Teehee...I've been medically cleared for a couple weeks now. I think the regional office should check in with DC before sending these out.

Contact from Placement Office!

I received an email from my assistant placement officer today:

I’m writing you from the Peace Corps placement office and I’ve been reviewing your file. I just wanted to send you a reminder that upon your graduation in June we will need a copy of your final transcript. At that time, please send us a copy showing:

· your name

· the name of the institution,

· the degree you received and the date it was conferred.

It can be an unofficial transcript, as long as it reflects the required information. Please email or fax this document to my attention at the number listed below. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have at this time.

Regards,

His name

Excellent! I found out that my PO is on vacation until January when I called to see about submitting a transcript. At least I know my file's not being ignored in the meantime. I told him that I wouldn't be able to get that transcript til early July. I also asked about sending in a new resume, so we'll see what he has to say.

Medically Cleared!

Hooray! I got the letter in the mail, and I am medically qualified. That was super fast- just ten days, even with mental health stuff.

The letter says that I will hear separately about dental qualification (which I actually already got) and that the Placement Officer will now begin reviewing my file. I need to call tomorrow and figure out to whom to send a resume so that they can see my new Kaplan teaching which will make me more qualified for the China job. Some invites have already gone out, so hopefully they'll think I'm a good fit and I will get my invite soon.

Hooray!
