Grassy and Wanting Wear

I had my interview last week, been too busy to blog until now.

Everything went really well and it should! I’ve set myself up to be the perfect candidate - degreed, debt-free (well, almost), medical/legal issue free, enthusiastic and flexible!!

I’d say the only down parts were that my chances of being able to teach English were slim to none,  that I didn’t have enough Spanish to guarantee a Spanish-speaking country and I might still be doing engineering.

Actually that last one isn’t too bad, as long as its hands on and not in an office I’d be cool with it. I think right now she has me on a track for environmental/water resources engineering or geodevelopment management. As I think about it more, that does sound cool! My main passions are definitely with people, but the environment isn’t much farther down on my list. 

In the end nothing matters except the experience - the language and place may not be what I had hoped for, but I know the experience will be great no matter what. I’m definitely improving my go-with-the-flow-ability!

Next steps are waiting to hear more information, a nomination and then all my evaluations.

I have my reasons for asking for a starting date after Feb 09, but I so wish it could be earlier!!
