Hi lovelies!
I'm sorry I've been so MIA for the start of this thing again, but ya'll started it right during finals and spring break for me, so I was quite distracted with school and traveling. I went to see my parents in Singapore, and the minute my sis and I got there, they told us that in the morning we were leaving for Bali! Bali was amazing, and we were able to spend 5 days there before going back to Singapore for 3 days. It was really good to spend time with them - I am glad they are moving home (May 1!!) cuz when I'm with them, I realize just how much I miss them.
The main point of this, though, is to tell you guys some big news I have. If I pass all of my medical exams, I leave in December for West Africa to serve for 27 months in the Peace Corps. :) I will be spending my summer learning French, spending time with my family (and friends, please let me see you before I leave) and hopefully traveling a little bit with my dad, since he is currently having a small retirement before starting something new! So keep my health in your prayers - I have about 4million medical exams to pass before I leave, so hopefully I don't have some secret cancer no one knows about yet that they find. haha.
So I miss you girls tons, and I really hope I get to see you this summer. I am going to try to get some crappy easy barista job in a drive thru coffee stand or something this summer so that I have money to travel a little bit in Summer & Fall, so maybe I'll even be able to have enough to come visit ya'll in your hometowns or something fun like that!
Love you lots!

That is so exciting!!!! Wow...West Africa. French. That is incredible. Your health is definitely in my prayers and so is your sanity! Organizing your life for a trip like this can drive a person crazy...
I hope that the rest of school goes well for you. I'm just heading into my finals week tomorrow so after that I'm GRADUATED! I can't believe how old we all are now. Near graduates - AKA BIG KIDS.
My summer plans are still pretty up in the air. I'm currently interviewing with a number of high schools about a teaching position for next year - I could start as early as August 1 or as late as September 1. Bri, you should come talk to my classes about the Peace Corps and what you are up to. They would be amazed!!
Have a great rest of your school year and keep me posted with any travel plans that pass through Chi-town!
Love,
Amanda
