What a way to run a business, spare me these unending trials!

I finally submitted my fingerprints, background check info, transcripts, and recommendation list to the Peace Corps. NOW they will finally call me for the oh-so-important interview. Once that is over I can finally respond with some measure of confidence when someone asks, "Where will you be going?" or "Is it certain that you'll be accepted?" Then I can get started on the new mountain of paperwork they will send me, as well as the overly-detailed, expensive medical check-ups.

I just want to keep a record of this whole process, as a point of reference. I'm curious as to how long everything will take. It's already been over two months since I started.

Some part of my brain still thinks I'm crazy. There are times I agree with it.
