Saying Goodbye… kind of
So, a lot of things have been going on since the other thing happened, and actually my life is going great. I have learned how truly awesome my friends are and have made new ones. This past week though has been about my COS conference. You may ask, now don’t you have three and a [...]
The Good and the Bad
Now some “stuff” has been going on with me. I am not willing to go into details about it here other than to say that I am so grateful for how Peace Corps has treated me and the situation. Right now I am in Sofia trying to get my head together and I am thinking [...]
My Hopes for the Next School Year
It’s Sunday September 11, 2011 and I am sitting in a semi comfortable chair in Bulgaria feeling a wicked cold about ready to attack my immune system. Bring on the herbal teas! This day feels like as good of a day as any to contemplate the next school year. September 11th was a tragedy, and [...]
