Ok, This is For Real This Time

Sure a year has gone by since I first started to fill out the PC application, but although my devotion to completing the paper work waned, my interest in volunteering never did. Really. Life has a way of sweeping you away and it's very easy to get caught up in living your current life and forget about planning for your future endeavors. And sometimes that's a good thing. My brother just got married, I got offered to take a trip to Israel, and I've had some family members come and visit me in New York. If I had applied last year I probably would have been out of the country and missed out on these awesome things.

This time around my devotion is strong, as I am tiring of my office job and really have no desire to look for a better paying job. I'm starting to feel claustrophobic, as will happen with me, and I need to get out the country and do something brand new before my natural mild psychosis becomes a full blown case certifiable craziness. That being said, I am trying to keep my cool while the people I ask to write my letters of rec. are taking their sweet time. Seriously it's been a month, is it that difficult to write something nice about me? Meanwhile the one that knew me the least wrote his letter in two days, go figure. But I will bide my time studying the world map on my wall and reading the blogs of other PC volunteers. Hopefully (before) this time next year I will living and working abroad!
