That long wait I mentioned?? Not so much.

Dentally cleared as of yesterday! 3 business days plus Saturday means it only took 4 days for them to receive and process my paperwork. Technically, they received it on Monday and processed it yesterday so just one day. !!!!!!!! I thought this thing was supposed to take 843179841 years! I'm so excited! I really anticipated having problems getting my dental stuff to go through right away since I have all my wisdom teeth still...but apparently, a dentist recommendation that extraction isn't necessary is sufficient because it's complete and I appear to be totally cleared! As for medical, my nomination is for June 2010 so that puts me at 7 months. I don't expect to hear anything for quite some time however, the way things are going, maybe I'm going to get a letter about it tomorrow, haha. Still have a legal hold on my account that I haven't heard anything about but I think that I am going to just hang in there for a little while until I hear something. It can only be one of two things (citizenship verification or student loans) so I'm not too concerned about it.

Just wanted to share the exciting news. One step closer, 7 months to go...and now there really is nothing to do but wait!
