Medical clearance schmedical glearance. Who needs it really?

So the day after I hit 7 weeks of waiting to hear from medical, I called them to ask when my file would be reviewed. Not for another month, was the response. I’m trying to set a new world record for how long it takes to get medical clearance. I’m at 8 weeks today and expecting at least another 3 weeks.

I’m considering this “pre-training” on the whole patience thing. I’ve stopped bothering to check my status on the peace corps website. Now when I finally get cleared it will be a big crazy surprise that I wasn’t expecting because I stopped worrying about it. :)

For those of you that I don’t talk to regularly, medical clearance is estimated to take 4-6 weeks; thus, my world record.
