What I'm Doing Next

A lot of people have been asking me what are my future plans. Well, readjusting. And no, I'm not talking about readjusting to watching TV and eating decadent foods. There's no way for me to predict it, but I'm sure I will be a little shocked by SOMETHING in America. So, that's the summer.

This fall, I'm planning on taking pre-requisite courses for nursing school. Bio, Chem, Psych, etc. This may spill over to the Spring months, maybe not. As of right now, I'm staying at home in MN. And actually, I'm not ashamed to say that I will still live at my parents house. I like my parents!

Summer or Fall 2011, I will be starting nursing school. I'm not sure where just yet. Maybe Loyola in Chicago, maybe Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Where ever I get accepted and get a good financial aid package.

So, that's what my future plans are. And, oh yes, to have two children, get divorced, and rack up thousands of dollars of debt.

I'm Famous

I'm in Dakar. Living the sweet life, which is about to get even sweeter in 12 days.

I recently discovered that I am now famous! If you go to http://watercharity.org and scroll down you will see my lovely well and can read all about what I've been doing here for the last 14 months! Literally 14 months. The well was finally completed last week. So, now I just need some volunteer to go out to my village and take some pictures for me. Likely? Probably not. It's ok though, I want to go back eventually.

I also posted a few more pictures of the last days in my village. The album is complete with cute, African baby pictures, too.
