As I write this, the vast majority if people I know and see regularly are frolicking in Michigan. Snowmobile races in August... how much fun can we HAVE? I'm really sad that I can't be there now, but at least I get to go fry at the beach with them tomorrow. YAY FOR ME! I hate missing out on stuff like that, especially when its with such really cool people.

Things are rolling on this whole BVS thing. I was told a couple days ago that I will most likely qualify to go overseas. The only negative with that is that in order to do an overseas program, you are required to committ to a minimum of two years. Domestic programs are only one year. That's kind of daunting. But the projects that I really like are all overseas. Turns out, the next orientation program is in January, and the application deadline for that is beginning of December. It looks like I'll have just enough time, if not a little extra, to get my application completed for the January term. I'm REALLY EXCITED! But I'm also pretty scared. I'm not sure why I'm so compelled to do this. Except I sorta feel like, this is something I KNOW I'd be good at. I'm not good at too many things. I have no marketable skills to speak of.... I'm a little intimidated by leaving you all for two whole years, but I also know how fast two years really can go. I think the scariest thing about leaving people I love for so long is the growth factor. I'll change and grow and (hopefully) mature while I'm gone, and I know everyone else will, too. So far, we've been doing all of our growing together, so it doesn't seem like a big deal. I'm a little afraid I'm going to come home and we will all be so different, and our communication won't be as easy. But you're all such really awesome people I know I'll love ya no matter what.

OK, maudlin enough for you? I feel like I'm scripting a soap opera. I'm going to go now. I have things to do. Well, not really, but I'm going to pretend. BTW, the phone lines at the house are all messed up, and I don't know when they'll be in working order again. If you get a consistent busy signal there, you can always leave a message for me at my mom's. Ok, I'm really leaving now. BYEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
