September 2, 2014 Requested an update
September 10, 2014 "I will not start reviewing applications for your program until Oct after the apply by date has passed for that program. I will finish all of my evaluation by end of December."
Doubt my ability to do this job should I get it
Hate myself for applying but obviously not being qualified enough (which isn't even true, brain!)

The latest you will hear back from me is the beginning of January but I should reaching out to most people at the start of December. The training class will be around 70 people so I will be issuing invitations regularly until January."
November 29, 2014 Started a Peace Corps wishlist on Amazon

November 29, 2014 Started a Peace Corps wishlist on Amazon
Because I just can't wait
Stress level though the roof
Issues focusing on school because this is all I want
Bring myself back to reality, remembering that these grades will matter for Peace Corps too
wait wait wait wait
December 28, 2014 Six months since submitted application, anxious to hear something
December 30, 2014 CALL FROM DC NUMBER WHILE IN DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT

January 2, 2015 Contacted OMS to find out about my medical accommodation and ask if I should try to get appointments this week
January , 2015 Finally THINK I got everything figured out with OMS. Accommodation is pretty much for sure asthma
January 21, 2015 Emailed Mr. Dobert to remind him to put me Under Consideration for Uganda and contact medical
January 30, 2015 Emailed Mr. Dobert again
February 2, 2015 Received an email from OMS basically telling me to check my email because I will be receiving tasks soon
February 3, 2015 Received an email from Mr. Dobert informing me that I'm 100% officially Under Consideration for Uganda! Should be receiving an email from them an OMS soon (had already received the one from OMS)
February 5, 2015 Asthma Evaluation task added to MAP. Now I have to figure out how to go back to the clinic to get this form filled out without paying $100 for it
February 6, 2015 Dropped off forms at the clinic to have filled out
February 13, 2015 Picked up forms and uploaded them to MAP
February 18, 2015 Medically Pre-Cleared!!
February 24, 2015 Emailed Peace Corps Uganda to introduce myself and request an update
March 3, 2014 Received an email from Monica Schnelle, the PO for Uganda, "I have not yet begun reviewing the Uganda programs, as I am finishing filling a program that leaves in the summer. I will begin reviewing applications in mid-March. I will review applications before the Apply By Date; however, in most cases, I will not begin issuing invitations until all applicants have had the chance to submit their application, which would be after the apply by date."
March (throughout the month) Meeting other people UC for Uganda. Everyone is so nice! I feel underqualified, though...
April 2, 2015 INVITE SEASON HAS BEGUN

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing...

Back and forth with tasks
