Passport and Visa Applications

This is my second view of the annoying process that can be doing things for Peace Corps. I really should have looked at the information for submitting my passport and visa applications yesterday, but I was so excited about telling everyone that I just couldn't! Pretty soon after I woke up, I started on the applications. Two hours later, I had two applications for passports (I'm choosing to have a personal passport as well as my PC passport.) and a visa application in hand. I headed to the post office, only to be told the guy I needed to talk to was at lunch, so I would have to wait. When he got back, I had to listen to him say MULTIPLE times that he had never heard of a such thing as a shortened passport, a PC passport, how confused he was, etc. Finally he got over that and just processed my applications. He wasn't too happy when he had to give me my PC passport application back in a sealed envelope, but it's all fine. Then when I got home, I realized I couldn't take my PC passport to the UPS store in town because, well, it closed a year or so ago. After a mini-freak-out, my wonderful father offered to take it to the UPS store for me. So now I have both my passport applications on their way!!
