it's been a long time...
i'm just going to throw out the basic "facts", as i probably won't write on this for a while again. but, i feel like i want to know what's going on in everyone's lives--so why not send out some news about mine?
*i'm currently working as an administrative assistant at pepperdine law school.
*yes, that means i'm no longer freezing my ass off in the northern midwest--i'm enjoying lunch breaks overlooking the pacific ocean, with santa ana winds almost blowing me over.
*yes, that means i'm living with my parents.
*yes, that means i'm saving money.
*saving for what? you may ask. well, for a 5 month stint in South America, starting february 18th, 2007.
*traveling for 2 months to: Argentina (Buenos Aires, Foz de Iguacu), Uruguay (Montevideo), Chile (Patagonia, The Lake District, Santiago, Wine Country), Peru (Lake Titicaca, Lima, Machu Picchu--and the 35 mile Inca Trail), and Ecuador (Quito--a jumping off point to...)
*The Galapagos Islands: i'll be volunteering with an organization called Nueva Era Galapagos for 3 months, teaching English and environmental awareness to the locals on the island San Cristobal.
*With whom shall i be doing this? you may ask. with my favorite travel (and other things) partner, Mr. Aaron van Boer, who is definitely incredible, although not altogether unlucky (re: past stolen wallets/cell phones/cameras in vienna/milan).
*i miss the friends i left behind in minnesota, especially the 6 girls i lived with in our 3 story rickety victorian house. they're some of the best and oddly most enlightening friends i've ever had.
*i also miss all the kids (aged 5-17) that i used to see everyday, who filled me with new perspectives on life and myself.
*and sure, i guess i can say that i miss fields of corn and cattle and the plethora of pro-life billboards.
*i miss you. whoever you are. call me, email me, whatever. i'm so horrible at keeping in touch, especially now that i'm out of college and away from all the lovely faces i used to see. let me know what you're up to, how you're doing. and i'm sorry in advance if i don't respond right away--i already told you, i'm terrible at this KIT thing. that doesn't mean that i don't value you in my life.
love.
