The Final Countdown

Through my application process, I'm pretty sure I stalked every possible blog known to mankind to figure out how long I would have to wait for a final acceptance. For those who may be interested in applying for the Peace Corps, know that the application process takes a LONG TIME! Apply early and expect to wait during each step of the application process. All together,  from application submission to departure took 10 months for me! Keep on keepin' on, the Invitation at the end is so worth it!
