In My Spare Time...

So here's a quick note to update everyone on my status. My last day at work is the day after tomorrow and I still have a TON to do (I'm going to stay and work at church through the end of the summer, though). After that I'm counseling at a camp in Pentwater for a week. Then I have three weeks before the next camp, Camp New Day. I'm actually in charge at Camp New Day and will have lots of preparation things to fill those three weeks - picking up craft supplies, assigning cabins, making last minute adjustments to the evening activities, etc. Speaking of which, do you know anyone interested in being a camp counselor?

I haven't started my language lessons yet - I figure I'll have plenty of time after the first week of camp is over. I got as far as finding out that there are no w's in the Azerbaijani alphabet. That should be interesting considering my name. I have met some of the other volunteers that I'll be going with (online, not in person) and they're from all over the country. But so far I've just met people who will be in the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and Youth Development programs, none that are joining me in the Community Economic Development program.

My list is started and I've done some shopping (which means I've gotten as far as purchasing my luggage).
So the next couple of months should be interesting! Stay tuned!
