My room is a mess right now, although somehow I've got to be packed to ship stuff off by tomorrow (and go to Senior Semiformal as well) Woohoo! Also . . .
BARACK OBAMA is coming to Wesleyan! What is going on here?! I mean, this is Wesleyan, the place that had some professor from Duke give the commencement speech in 2006. Barack Obama . . . Wow. And the weather's gonna be good too. Honestly, not that I want to jinx it, but this could turn out to be the perfect end to an otherwise wet and dreary week. Seriously, the weather's been horrible this week, not that I want to harp on it.
In other news . . . I don't know if I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight. I haven't done any packing, and I want to be mostly done by tomorrow; also, Dave and I have to clean like, everything, since Saul has made the kitchen area nearly immaculate. I've got an interview with The Randolph School in Scotland, tomorrow, where I might be taking my TEFL course (if I can get EF to pay for more of the costs), and I also have to take my car in to the shop, because it's freakin' falling apart. Right now, I'm getting ready to go this Senior Ball thing, since I spent over a hundred bucks on the Senior Pass. I have no idea when it's gonna be over, although I guess I have to make sure I don't get too drunk . . .
This seems like a good time to go over My Plans for the Future :
1) This summer I'll be in Mississippi, where I was born, working with my Uncle on a documentary project-thing. Basically, he's a dean at an HBCU (Historical Black College University) Land Grant school, and the project will be a video all about all the opportunities you can have after graduating from an HBCU Land Grant. I feel a little hypocritical doing it, since half my family wanted me to go to their alma mater Alcorn State (the school my uncle works for), and I was like "No!", yet now I'm making the promotional video. LOL
2) Hopefully, in July, said Uncle will take me with him to Ghana. What we will do there is yet to be determined, although it will involve the children of cocoa farmers.
3) In August, I am either going to Edinburgh to take this TEFL course (I will admit, part of the reason I chose Edinburgh was because J.K. Rowling lives there), or, if EF doesn't give me any more money, I am going to take the online course here in the States.
4) By September, if everything works out, I will be in CHINA!!! Woot woot!
As for the rest of the house . . .
Saul is going to Israel through Birthright, then Egypt. After that he doesn't know, but he'll probably get some econ-related public interest job in DC
Dave is moving to New York, and will be living with Emily Rosen-King. He doesn't have a job yet either, though he said he wants to work at a law firm or something.
Dan left before I could ask what he's doing this summer, but he'll be back at Wesleyan in the fall.
Okay, so, that's it! I'll try to do two more post before we're out of here, and over the summer I might do a live journal to document the whole documentary experience. And I'm definitely gonna do a travel blog about living in China for 12 months.
Until then,
Later!
