A Summer of Moving

This is a crazy week. I am in the process of writing my Master’s Paper (which is almost done, yea), packing, and making flight arrangements for summer travel. In the mist of all of this Peace Corps is constantly sending me paperwork to finalize plans for my service. OMG I also have to learn the cryptic alphabet before I leave in August!

I keep getting distracted by people constantly contacting me to wish me luck in the Peace Corps and wanting to get together for breakfast/lunch/dinner before I leave. I usually have a lot of fun when I am out with my friends but I lose time on my paper, packing, or completing Peace Corps paperwork. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy talking and hanging out with people but its getting to be a little daunting. After I complete this paper my time will definitely be dedicated to hanging out! Imagine life with out school. I have literally been in school since I was about four …wow. A two year stint in the Peace Corps without school work I can’t wait!!!!


The plan for the summer so far, if you are interested in knowing, is as follows:

•June 9 – Leave Middletown for Chi Town (for those of you who are not natives that is Chicago)

•June 11- Leave Chi town for Boston (Decided to spend the summer in Boston working instead of Chicago. I love Boston even though this will be my first time visiting).

•July 26th – Leave Boston to go back to Chicago (Going to spend 9 days with the fam before I leave for Peace Corps)

•August 4th – Depart Chi town for Philly or D.C. (this is for Peace Corps Orientation)

•August 7th – Leave Philly or D.C. for Bulgaria

Wow! A lot of traveling this summer.
