I had an e-mail from Peace Corps this morning, saying that my application status had been updated. So, I excitedly go on the website, and login. It just said that there is a hold on my application, but it also says that is normal...that every application is on hold while under medical review. What! Just tell me when I am leaving, that really is all I want to know. Thanks. So, really no updates on that front, I guess the application has just moved from the pile to someones hands. Yay for that.

In additional news, I got hit on at the Brookshire Brothers in Bellville last night. Woo-hoo.

waiting

I am 2 finals, 1 presentation (due tomorrow) and 1 paper away from being done with my MSW. Which of course makes me super excited.

But I find myself quite frustrated because I am ready for the next thing. For Peace Corps, to know where I am going, to work at camp, for all these things that are coming up. It's weird because I'm thinking back to the Summer after I graduated college, and I find myself in the exact same place. I am waiting on the next thing, which makes me lose sight of what I am doing right now. Being content with where I am at is something that's hard for me...and I think it's hard for most people. We are a society of people that wants more stuff, bigger cars, more technical gadgets. So, I want to try and be happy with now. Be happy with my presentation due tomorrow. Be in the moment. Instead of waiting on the next thing.

This is what happens when Jacey and I want to be rebellious and look bad a. We dye our hair!

So this is where I plan on updating everyone when my life gets crazy in the next 6 months. This is what I know so far...Asia, September 2008, serving in the Peace Corps. And that's all I know. yes, 'Asia' is vague. Welcome to my life.
