Lot to talk about!

Its been forever since I done a blog and i apologize for that. But I have had a lot of exciting news though! I went to my peace corps interview 2 weeks ago and  It went great! it was great to actually sit down and talk to someone face to face.  The interview was what I expected. The information that i receive through various comments on this blog were extremely helpful.  I was able to go into the interview with confidence. The questions were ones that I was not used to but they were really in depth. They don't mess around when it comes to trying to pinpoint or nail down who you are in that short span, but it is something that they have to do so I understand.
After the interview I was able to sit down with my recruiter and talk with her. It was nice to talk to someone that has been through the whole process. she was great in the fact that i felt comfortable enough to talk to her about anything.  Right after the interview she told me that she was going to nominate me! she told me she would get to the necessary paperwork done till the end of august because she is so busy but told me not to worry.  I am trying to be patient about it but i want the paperwork to go through so that i can possibly start the next step which is the medical clearance.
I am not worried about not being medically cleared. I have Just heard that it is a long and tedious process. I just want to make sure that i get it done in a timely manner. The only concern I have for the peace corps is leaving next summer. I have nothing planned if i don't leave next summer.  So my timing is very important. 
On a different note school has started for me. It is weird being done with track. I don't have to go lift or go to practices.  I have a couple extra hours a day that I usually would put aside for track activities.  The social aspects of not being in track are their too. I don't know or really care to know any of the new freshmen on the time.  If I meet them great but I am not going out of my way too. 
I also have learned to not wait on people. What I mean by this is so many people talk about making plans and generally dont follow through. yes some things sound like a lot of fun to do but when it comes down to making the effort people generally don't. The next couple months are going to be interesting. I also found out that I was award a internship through the school sociology department.  It seems that good news does come in packages.
Sorry for the brief update but i have to run to do some homework! hopefully in the near future i will post a more comprehensive blog update!
