Another Update (May 2012)

So as of right now, I think, after my deferral is up for appeal again at the start of next month, I am not going to jump right into getting all of that stuff done. One, I think I want to push back my leave date by about a year, and two, I have a great job and I love it. Right now I tutor. I absolutely love the feeling of helping somebody succeed; there is almost no greater feeling in this world. I already promised two families that I would be in NJ through the next school year for their kids. I don't like to break these promises. Also, I will be taking a full course-load of classes at a local University to do all of the fun Pre-Med stuff that I never did at 'SC. I really want to finish all of the pre-reqs for Medical School before departing for the Peace Corps. I think this is the best option for me, especially because I want to start applying while in the PC. It seems strange to want to push back the Peace Corps by a few more months after being devastated that they deferred me for far longer than I would have liked or that I found comfortable at the time. I guess there may be a reason for everything on this small ball of chaos floating in space. I hope everybody is having a wonderful May! I will write about my trip to LA in my next post!
