Medical Clearance!!!

This morning I had checked my status on my tool kit, only to see the same message that they were reviewing my medical info and if I wasn't leaving for four months, not to worry. I took a big breath and went back to studying.  Later in the the afternoon, I prayed to God to help me with my patience and to just be there with me. It was becoming very, very difficult these past few days. Reading people receiving medical clearance that had similar departure dates was wearing down on me. I was happy for them, but it made me very anxious and impatient. I even emailed the presevice nurse on Friday and had not heard back, it was just very frustrating.

Two hours after praying, reflecting, and calming down, I decided to check my MAILBOX (not email but regular ole mailbox) and what do you know, a letter from peace corps.

"The office of medical services is pleased to inform you that you 
have been medically qualified for service and the office of placement notified."

I have been cleared since the 22nd!! My toolkit is still not updated, so I will call about that. But who cares, I'M MEDICALLY QUALIFIED :) I'm in the top 15% (or whatever the number is) to send it in right the first time! YAAYY I made the club!! lol

WHOOOO HOOOOOO victory dance victory dance!!!!! Medical Clearance !!!!!

 I didn't even take the time to think of a cool title, TOO excited!! Now, excuse me while I do my victory dance :)
