my Peace Corps application timeline

For anyone who's curious. I will update this as new things happen...

End of May my friend S. saw an ad for PC on the MARTA train and starts talking it up as something he can see me doing and could it hurt to try? I think about it a day or two, as it's something I've considered in the past, and decide now is the time.
