I always thought of joining the Peace Corps after college.
This just confirmed that:

"During service, Peace Corps Volunteers receive vacation time, pay and living expenses, deferment of student loans, and transportation to and from the country of service. Returning from overseas requires some adjustment, so when you complete your service, the Peace Corps provides just over $6,000 toward your transition to life back home. This money is yours to use as you wish: for travel, a vacation, making a move, or securing housing."

I want my life to turn out so many different ways. It's so frustrating. Why can't I travel the world and still have a good career and be rich with a beautiful home and children? It is not fair.

I've been deathly ill since Sunday. It was so bad that I almost went to the ER. I thought I was dying one night, like, for real. I'm better now, but if it gets as bad as it was again, that could mean swine flu.
I better not have the swine.

We got an apartment! It's so cute and perfect. It's only a one bedroom, which is a first for us (not including this summer, I guess) But we love it. I will post pictures soon, I promise.
Being home is pretty awesome. My first night here was kind of weird. I don't know why. Mike went to Boston the night before and brought Dylan back with him so that he'd be there when I got home, which was awesome. Hanging out with them was great. But for some reason being home with my Mom and other family members was just weird. Like, they acted happy to see me, but it felt fake? That sounds ridiculous, I know.
But since then, things have been getting a lot better. The other night my mom hugged me and said that she's so glad I'm home, and that it feels like the family is finally back together again.
And our apartment is in the building next to Mike's apartment. Mike's my best friend, if you did not know, so it's so awesome having him for a neighbor.
It's so crazy being a 15 minute drive away from family. And the fact they can just "swing by". I love it. It feels so safe and nice.

Anyways, pictures of the apartment will be coming soon.
