Patience Is A Virtue

However, I certainly could use some work improving mine. 

Today I got just a tad more impatient than what I've been lately and decided to email someone in the Peace Corps Placement Office to get an update on my application status.  I am not sure if what I know now is better or worse to know.  The PC Placement Assistant informed me that everyone is experiencing delays in receiving invitations and being placed. 

I already knew that there can be unexpected delays along the road of becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer.  No big deal.  However, what new information I gathered is that...I may not hear anything more for ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS! 

Oh, how my lack of patience is getting to me today.  I orginally was nominated for a program in Sub-Saharan Africa that would depart in April 2012.  The way it is sounding now is that I may not hear what program I will be invited to until March or April.  Who knows when I will be heading to new parts of this world. 

I'll continue to take care of the beautiful baby calves at home here and will keep y'all posted if anything changes!
