Second Week of A-100

The second week was about as much of a whirlwind as the first. There is so much to learn and most of it is entirely too fascinating; there are still people waiting to ask questions as every session comes to an end. A big focus of Week Two focused on the bid lists that we received at the end of Week One. Today Bongsu and I met my Career Development Officer to discuss our goals and get a bit of a reality check. Actually, it turns out our expectations were perhaps not all that far from reality to begin with, although with a class of 92 people there will be a lot of competition for the top choices on our list. In any case, we know that whatever the assignment ends up being, we'll have a great experience.

The only question I have left is how I can survive waiting over a month to find out what that first post will be! I'm hoping that the continuing flood of new information will help keep me distracted! ^^

Waiting to hear where you are/will be going may be a bit nerve-wracking - and a month may seem like a long time to be pondering it; but how does it compare to where you were just about a month ago ... waiting to see if you'd be getting into FSO at all?

Now you've known for a few weeks about your posting ... so how do you like smoked fish?
