and so it begins – finally. things are progressing. i have never gone so long without being mentally and physically engaged. the past four years of my life went:

Wooster –> Ireland –> Wooster –> Detroit Zoo –> Wooster –> Detroit Zoo –> Wooster.

A summer of nothing but friends and adventures? Not working?  Unheard of.
Now? Oh man. Try to keep up. First up is a 10-day vacation to dear Cleveland. Then promptly returning to NYC for a month-long internship that concludes just after Labor Day. THEN, if I get lucky, I’ll be moving back to Detroit for a semester-long internship at Doner advertising.

To get out of paying for a month of rent in NYC (I instead sacrificed that money for a ticket to Cleveland) I’ll be couch surfing during my time here in the city. The first four nights with Ryn, then 10 days with Jesse, then 10 days with Taylor, and finishing at Nancy’s.

Throw in a visit from my father while in the city, and maybe a trip to Boston over a weekend, then a second job once I return to the midwest (hopefully at a bar/pool hall) and I’ll be a busy gal.

Oh yeah, did I mention that instead of moving to Detroit I may just say “fuck it” and move to Boston? Also an option.

And of course I can’t forget about an update about Carnegie Mellon and the Peace Corps. Still fighting for it. My case will be up for review at Carnegie this fall so I have to start preparing my argument… that, and the GREs.
