Keeping Myself Happy and Busy

...the two seem to always go together.  Thank you already to those who have commented on my last post.  Your words really mean a lot to me, and are a great reminder that this is not the time to crack!

I am so excited to think about what I will do with my free time after I am done with the GMAT on Thursday.  Since about October, I've had virtually no time for volunteering, working out, or relaxing.

I haven't "added" to my Peace Corps-relevant resume since this summer, when I was volunteering at the DC Scores soccer-writing camp before I got my current job.  I definitely feel guilty about that, but it's kind of hard to keep up my volunteering when I'm just struggling to make a living!  My job is semi-relevant to Peace Corps work, but that connection isn't readily apparent on paper.  But now, finally I can get back to what I love.

I just emailed a family friend who works in the DC Courts, since she works with child abuse and neglect cases.  I am really interested in volunteering with those kids and from past conversations it sounds like she might be able to find a place for me.  Hopefully that will come through!  Plus, now I might have some new info to share with my placement officer, whenever he calls!

Thanks again, fellow nominees :)
