So this is a "hopefully" blog that I am starting because I'm pretty sure I'm going into the Peace Corps in June 0f 2009. I wanted to start it so that I could put the info in my Thank Yous for graduation. So if that applies to you Bookmark this page and check it in a couple of months, as I will post more when I know more.
Where I am in the process:
I am in the midst of completing the medical file (which is just the thrill of a life time- haha), which is apparently the longest part of the process and 2-3 months after the Peace Corps get my medical file (it takes that long to review it) I will get both a specific country that I will go to (probably in Africa) and a hard leave date(probably in June 2009).
In the meantime:
I got a job at H.W. Lochner in Bellevue, as a receptionist. Not my dream job, but it pays the bills and it also enables me to stay in Seattle, so it will do for the moment. I also have to get 6 months of ESL experience at some point in the next year, I haven't figured that out yet, so if you have any ideas let me know!
On Graduation:
So I just graduated from Seattle University on the 15th and while I am glad to be done it is also bittersweet as I watch many of my friends leave Seattle for ports known and unknown and I really want to go with them. At the same time I can rationalize my staying put really well (save money, stick close to home, take a break) so this leaves me in a space of the "in-between" which I hope will lessen when I am more settled with what I'm doing right now.
Anyway- toodles for now, talk to you later!- Glenna
