Oh, The Places You'll Go
So there have been several interesting developments over the last few days. First, my Dad managed to talk our neighborhood gym to giving me a one month membership - for free! So now I can go work out. Plus, they have spinning classes for $5/class. I haven't gone spinning in so long - brings me back to the days of Bally's with Maria! I plan on going tomorrow morning if I can get my ass out of bed in time, which I failed to do this morning.
Second, the New England Pats are 16-0 BABY!!! I can't believe my team actually went undefeated this year. What a crazy season! If I do actually go abroad, I can tell you that I will miss my football dearly.
Third, I've developed a new addiction to the Travel channel. I guess I love to see the visuals of all the places I want to visit. Unfortunately, it's just adding to my list of places to go! It all started because they were doing a show on Macchu Picchu, one of my top travel destinations, so of course I wanted it. I ended up finding a Samantha Brown marathon (she travels around the world and gets to make a TV show about it! I so want her job!) and watching that for the rest of the afternoon.
Fourth, I have officially decided against Teach For America despite all the pressure from my family, friends, and the regional recruiter. I was trying to write one of the essays and realized I couldn't answer the question, and then I knew that it wasn't something I wanted to do. I am really pulling for the Peace Corps right now. I'm so excited - my application is in and my interview should be any time now. I hope I get in, and I keep thinking about all the countries I could possibly be placed in. I'm totally getting ahead of myself here - I haven't even gone on the interview yet, never mind received my acceptance - but I'm excited about it! My top choice is somewhere in Central/South America so I can work on my Spanish. I need to stop reading through the website, though, and focus on my thesis which I just have no desire to do! Seriously. I don't even like my topic anymore, I can't find the sources I need, and I'm just bored by the whole thing. Maybe a shift in direction is the solution, we'll see. I just need to stop procrastinating. And with that, I think I'll go read some articles.
