Today I applied for a Foreign Service Consular Fellows Program for Spanish speakers. The application period for this program is quite large which leads me to believe there may be more openings than the Foreign Service Office Management Specialist position. I'm also inclined to believe this process may move quicker but I don't actually have anything to base these suspicions on. Either way, a second avenue (third if I would study for the Foreign Service Officer Test) is not a bad thing.
On another note, a dear friend put me in touch with an old friend of his that happens to be an FSO. I emailed her introducing myself and asked a few burning questions. She was very helpful and made me rethink my position on storage. This means I am keeping more than I originally planned, saving me lots of money in the long run. I still need to get rid of stuff though. It's on my untouched To Do list.
It probably doesn't help that I'm in vacation mode now. My birthday is around the corner and I'm going to Pittsburgh, PA to celebrate my awesomeness. I'm also planning a week in Roatan in July and an 11 day cruise in September. Maybe I'll be celebrating passing the Oral Assessment (interview) by then. Fingers crossed.
Until then, I'll continue to resist shopping (unsuccessfully, perhaps) so I don't add to the stuff I'll have to pack, donate, or recycle later.
