I finally received my letter in the mail stating that I received full medical clearance. My file was passed on to the placement office and I also was contacted by the assistant to my placement specialist.
She asked me to send in an updated copy of my resume including any new work or volunteer experiences I had gained since my nomination last August. She also said that my final review for placement would likely take place in 4 to 6 weeks...
I am very glad that grad school involvement is really picking up now as I prepare for my final Master's Oral Defense date because hopefully that will serve to help keep me distracted as I wait for the next step in the process.
Most of my classmates are well immersed in the job search for after graduation and I am beginning to get pressure from people asking why I am not applying for jobs. I am trying not to stress out over the fact that my field typically does the majority of its hiring during Now-May which is right during the time when I may or may not hear back from Peace Corps. I just do not feel right applying for a job I know I will not take if I hear from PC...however, the reality is also that if I do not apply for a job now I may not be able to find one until this time next year. It is completely nerve wracking.
More later :)
