hey ladies! first, i apologize for not keeping up with this. frankly, i kind of forgot about it until i asked caitlin if she had heard from any cohorts and she mentioned our blog. oops! no reflection on how i feel about any and all of you, i promise :)
since turning in my thesis i have kind of been all over the place. i think you all know i took a solo 10 day camping trip to california (OH how i love cali!). i've also taken smaller trips- a weekend in victoria bc, another at baker lake, wine tasting in walla walla, LA and Vegas for a friend's birthday... and a 10 day silent meditation retreat in southern washington. can you even believe that i was able to keep silent for 10 days?? it was amazing, definitely life-changing.
but here's my biggest and most recent news: i applied for a job with public health as a family planner/health educator. i really thought their desired qualifications read pretty much like my resume (sexual health education experience- and they preferred, but didn't require, a master's) but i didn't even get an interview. but that's okay. i'm sweeping my ego up off the floor and taking this as a sign from the universe that i am not meant to do the 9 to 5 right now. instead i'm moving full steam ahead on planning my international travels starting in late january, early february.
in the meantime, however, i'll be leaving seattle in mid-december for the east coast... and i don't think i'll be returning to this lovely emerald city (other than frequent visits, of course). yep, i'm packing everything up and driving out to old virgnie, to spend time with my family and plan my trip (and save a few months of rent) and i'll be taking off from there. i'll probably try to come to seattle on my way out of the country, since my first stop is thailand and i'm sure to have a connecting flight on the west coast somewhere. we will see and i'll keep you updated. but in the meantime i have a month and a half left, i'll be taking no more trips, and plenty of time for going-away-type parties/lunches/dinners/cupcakes/drinks.

yay! you're coming to my coast :) i wouldn't worry about the public health job; you're fab!! they always hire internally first, so it could've been that...so public health school doesn't prepare us for life's disappointments...i'm still unsure what I'm supposed to do myself. and my position so far has seemed like torture. I feel you!
