Comment on Still Waiting for Peace Corps Invitation by Joanna

I’m in the exact boat you are. Your blog answered my question and I thank you for that because I tried looking for my answer all over the place! I emailed the lady who is suppose to be representing me and she told me to be patient but I needed to know that my file wasn’t lost in the trash outside of the building. Thank you for the advice that I should pester them because I wasn’t sure if that was gonna hurt my chances of getting in since most people on facebook told me to be patient.

Lol, let us not forget the following:

When a fly lands in the beer of a Brit, the Brit will throw out the beer and get another.
When a fly lands in the beer of an American, the American will scoop out the fly and finish the beer.
When a fly lands in the beer of a Peace Corps Volunteer, the volunteer drinks the beer with the fly as Peace Corps Volunteers do not waste even a single drop of beer.

I ‘enjoyed’ you writing. Its interesting to read about what you are going thru. Since I have traveled so much, some of what you are going thru is what I have experienced. But don’t kid myself, your hardships are much more than mine. I mean, spending weeks in the back country of Vernal, Utah or weeks in the back country of Budapest, Hungary, is certainly not the same as what you are going thru, but stll, its nice to read about how frustrated you are at having a poor system.

I found myself saying ” yes, I understand how frustrated she is.”, but I do know that I don’t understand, because you are in such an underdeveloped country.

Is there anything we can do to help you?…Money wise??

We can’t give much, but if we send you some money,, could you buy something for the families? Could you personally decide to give something to someone? Let us know.

Thank you for writing to us ( sort of), and we read you conversation when we can.

Oh, about Donna (mother of Steve):

We now live in Massachusetts -I think you know that. Donna’s parents (Steve’s grandparents), just had their 60th wedding anniversary (August 6). It would be impressive if you send them a card.

Whatever happens in the future, remember that I enjoy your ramblings.

Aloha, and thank you for giving us such a detailed description of what your day is like. Keep the detaills coming.
