The title of this not only describes my favorite rapper, but also describes jump in speed that my application has all of the sudden taken.
For the past month I have been patiently waiting for any word from a placement officer, tool kit update, email saying hi, or anything, but nothing had come. I actually was getting so down that I almost gave up hope on being invited and began looking at alternative roads to wander my life down. I told myself that if I didn't hear anything by my birthday (feb 22) that I would email my recruiter and see whats up.
So last weekend I spent in my home town of Coalville being birthday spoiled by my parents because my birthday landed on the worst day (in my opinion) to have a birthday, Monday. I was treated to breakfast, lunch, and dinner at my favorite places to eat. On Monday I woke up early because I had to travel to Logan, which is 2hr. from Coalville, to make it to work. Upon arrival to my apartment I went through my daily ritual of checking my email, checking my peace corps took kit in case some how there was an update which didn't send an email, and looking at blogs. After another disappointing ritual I decided to take part in the next step of my mornings by making my 2 1/2 cups of coffee. After drinking my coffee I decided to check my email one more time and.... I got an email! woot!
It was nothing too exciting, but news none the less. It asked for a new transcript that showed the completion of my degrees, updated resume, and due to the fact that I am a really crappy writer a request to add to or rewrite my cross-cultural essay with more specific example of cross-cultural experiences that I have had. So I got to work right away. I rewrote my cross-cultural essay, totally redid my resume with a lot more volunteer hours that I have done recently or forgot about the first time writing my resume. Finally today I walked to my college campus and ordered a new transcript that hopefully has all the information required.
What a great birthday! So needless to say my morale has been lifted and I am once again hopeful that my invitation will come soon! Too all those stuck in limbo I feel your pain, but know that any news is good news! Unless its bad news...
