I'm still here!
Wow, sorry it's taken me so long to post on here since I've been back. I didn't realize people might still actually be interested in hearing what I'm up to now that my life isn't nearly as exciting as it was just a few short weeks ago. Time has really flown by, although I haven't been doing all that much really since I'm now completely out of a job! Never one to like sitting around, I started trying to figure out what I should do next pretty much the day after I got back. I did leave with an interrupted service, so I'll have the option of doing the Peace Corps again relatively easily, but for now, I'm not quite ready. I need some time still to digest things. So, my plan for right now is that next month I will be moving to Columbus, Ohio. My aunt has generously offered to let me come live with her. I'm so excited! After a lot of soul searching, I think I've finally figured out what direction I want to go with my life, career wise anyway. I've been interested in and involved with other cultures for quite a few years now with my volunteer activities and having lived abroad, so I know I want to continue with that. And after that small taste of terrorism in Bangladesh, that really got me to thinking how lucky I was to be able to leave that situation, but also how traumatic it can be to start all over again in another country. So what I'm getting to is that I'd really like to work with refugees and immigrants in the US. I've got my eye on a couple of places in Columbus where I'd like to apply, but if anyone out there has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
