In typical my-application-to-the-Peace-Corps style, there was a hitch. I should have found out last Monday if I received a nomination or not, but unfortunately one of my recommenders neglected to turn in a letter about how awesome I am.
After going back and speaking with my recommender again, she apologized profusely for holding up my application, took me to lunch, and sent me a text the this morning saying that she both emailed a copy of her rec to my recruiter with an apology and also overnighted a copy to Chicago. She also has promised to call them on Monday just to follow up.
Monday being the operative day because if they haven't received the letter in question by then, my application is pulled and that whole thing goes down in flames.
Fingers crossed for quick fedex drivers.
So, point being, I guess tomorrow I'll know if I need to start looking for an apartment here or if instead I need to be investing in vaccines. Phrased like that, it seems strange that I'm hoping for vaccines.
