Today my mom tried to talk me out of going into the Peace Corps. She's starting to freak out because I guess she is realizing how close it is getting.
When I was studying abroad in the fall of 2007, I made a list of ambitions and things that I want to do in my life. A few of them included:
-Get a master's degree
-Be a teacher
-Live outside of the U.S. for a period of time
I graduate from graduate school next weekend with my masters degree in education. I have been a 7th grade teacher for the past year, and I love it, and I am about to embark on a journey of living outside the U.S. for a period of time. 27 months to be exact. None of these things were put on that list in hopes of accomplishing them in the near future, more so down the road, but suddenly 3 of the major ones have been crossed off the list. And almost effortlessly. How has that even happened?
I need to make more lists. Maybe those things will fall into place just as easily. (hopefully hopeful.)
I am moving out of my apartment in about 3 more weeks in preparation to move to Honduras 4 weeks after that. I will be keeping my stuff in a storage unit for 2 years for a total of about $1700. Is it worth it? I am beginning to think that I should sell it all.
