Mea Culpa

It may be that nobody is reading this anymore.  I don't blame you after the long break.  I am so sorry to have kept you waiting.  I just checked and realize that I am one week shy of a two month hiatus.  It was unintentional, I assure you.  I have been busy.  You will see.  I have tons to write about.

First things first, I have a job.  I am going to be an English Language Fellow.  For those of you who are not familiar with the program, it is similar to the Peace Corps in that it is a program through the Department of State and the idea is that teachers are sent to somewhat austere environments to teach.  It is not as long of a commitment, and I get paid.  The first week of October, I will be moving to Vientiane, Laos for 10 months.  I am unbelievably excited.  I have wanted to be a Fellow since I met one during my training for the Peace Corps in Georgia.  I will work at the National University teaching English.  My project description is very broad and at orientation, we were told to be flexible because it might not be 100% accurate.  As far as the specifics of my job, I will keep you posted.

In other news, I have been unbelievably fortunate enough to do some great traveling while waiting for my departure for Laos.  I have a couple of down days and plan on filling you all in completely.  It has been a lot of fun and I have some great pictures.  Lots of Love,  M.
