Although I wish I could "have my cake and eat it too"... it is not the case when it comes to my job. While I offered to come back after my program was completed, unfortunately they could not hold my position for the 2 months that I was going to be away (In my perfect world they'd say "Yes! Go have an amazing time in Russia and your job will be waiting when you return"). Nyet! So my boss has been interviewing and June 15 will be my last day. While I am sad to be leaving and am obviously scared to not have a job when I return, I have come to peace with the fact that this is what I have to do, in order to have this experience...
Sitting in a cubicle all day in suburban Chicago.... volunteering in Russia.... hmmmmmmm......which shall I choose
It also happened to work out that my apartment lease is up on May 31 and both of my roomies pursued and found other living arrangements (I hope I wasn't completely screwing them over by not living in the apartment anymore! Guys...? :(
Now don't worry, I won't be out sleeping on the Lincoln Park benches for 3 weeks til I leave. Lucky me, I happen to be dating one of the nicest people EVER, who has generously invited me to stay with him before and after my trip! While I am a little nervous that he will get sick of me and my incessant need to clean, I think it will be fun and I am very much looking forward to it!
