Miami!!

I just got an email from Lauren Post that I may be placed with City Year Miami!  I'm pretty excited about living some place warm!!!  It's month three of our snow apocalypse and I would LOVE being in Miami next time this year. 

Beyond geography and weather, City Year Miami looks like a very strong and active chapter.  They have an informative and active online presence.  You can find some really cool projects for Miami on their blog  They also have a flickr and twitter. 

I'm really excited, and a bit nervous about my up coming interview!  Wish me luck! 

Applications in!!!

 

Applications are all turned in!  I even had a phone interview with City Year on Friday.  I really like there program, and am excited to see were they may want to place me.  

Only one more deadline for Teach For America!  A "research survey" on
Thursday.  Late Thursday they should post if they want to place me in a school.

I finished and submitted my application to the Peace Corps today.  I have to submit a health form soon, and then wait for their evaluation.  Going overseas would be a really fun and ever educational adventure. 

Summer Tour to Italy!

 My final class to finish my undergraduate degree will be a tour in northern Italy!  We will be exploring the area the Waldensians hid from persecution.  The class was designed for architecture students to pick up religion credits.  I'll be taking it for an art credit and spend my days drawing and photographing the countryside.  I probably should start practising!  I need to figure out if I want / can financially tour / backpack around Europe after the class.  It would be amazing to see the degenhardts again.  

We leave on June 4th, flying from O' Hare to Milan.  The tour ends on the 12 but hopefully I'll be able to stay overseas for a bit longer.
