I don't remember the last time I felt this busy. Is it seriously only September 8th? I am taking my first mental health day tomorrow so I make it through the week ( Read more... )

Can we go dance merengue and bachata and salsa... everyone, anyone. I need to get some Latin flavor back in my step.

I am trying SO hard to trust that this is all going to work out. It seems like the more you want something to happen, the harder it is to just trust that it is all going to come together ( Read more... )

This is all just weird.

I had a fundraising meeting with my boss yesterday. She is on a board for a sustainable community in Costa Rica that brings doctors down and is trying to build a library... ya know things like that. Well, she has a lot of experience with funding projects. So to spare you all the boring details... I am trying to get non-profit ( Read more... )

It was a nice, busy weekend in Hubbardston with the Green family. But now it's back to the real world.

I'm overwhelmed.

Maranatha comes next month! Which is exciting but SO overwhelming. I have housing all set up, just need to finalize the assignments. I found out that instead of us bringing the band to CT we need to get them from Auburn Thursday ( Read more... )

Okay. I miss La Romana. I don't just miss it a little.. I miss it a lot. I talked to Kristy the other day and it was so wonderful. I just want everything all set up for January. I get so excited about everything and then I remember. I STILL HAVE ANOTHER SEMESTER! My heart aches lately. There are times when I can finally stop thinking about it and ( Read more... )

Lately I have been thinking a lot about what will happen after I graduate. My last semester will be Fall 2009 after which I have a lot of decisions I need to make. I can go to grad school, do the peace corps, work, etc. I will eventually go to grad school but will I stay here, go to California or some other state, go to Puerto Rico? I am going to ( Read more... )

Today I told my abuelita that if I can arrange it I am staying in La Romana for a year. She was pretty much okay with it, a little skeptical at first, but pretty much fine with that idea. We talked about the future a lot today and the possibilities I have ahead of me. I think a talk with Kristy will be in order at some point this year about debt ( Read more... )
