"To me, one of the best faces America has ever projected is the face of a Peace Corps volunteer. That face symbolizes this country: young, curious, brimming with idealism and hope - and a real, honest compassion. Those young people convey an idea of America that is all about heart and creativity, generosity and confidence, a practical, can-do sense and a big, big smile."
and that's pretty much my motivation for Peace Corp-ing after graduation right there. Thanks, Theresa Heinz Kerry. Maybe I'm an idealistic girl but I want to get out there and get crackin'.
Lisa, S, Igor, and I spent a fun couple days out here in nature and talk talk talk central. (приветы!:)))))) Tomorrow I have to go to the airport at 5 am (gaaahhh) and fly out to Barcelona (weeeeee). Rumor has it that flight is seriously overbooked. But that's Russian flying for ya. The sun and beach's worth anything though. For me at least.
Hope all you writercon people are out there enjoying yourselves immensely!
(i'm not jealous... really... bah, i wanna go! ahem).
Can we have a con in London next year? I think they cancelled the Harvest or smth. Good thing I did not spree for those outrageous tickets.
Miss you guys!!
Hasta luego,
K.
