-I have become a statistic. I am now officially part of the however many millions of Americans out of work - however my unemployement is by choice. June 15 was my last day at the Office and I have to admit I was a little sad to be leaving...
- I am still homeless (living with K in the studio in Chicago) - going much better than anticipated actually (not due to anything on his end... I can just be a difficult person to live with - I imagine :)
-I've been getting all the last minute details for my trip figured out and all my loose ends tied up. Getting all my banking stuff organized, emergency info, purchasing clothing and 'necessities' for the trip...
-Planning my post-program travel. Since I'll be in Europe anyway I figured why not do a little pleasure travel when I'm finished volunteering :) Still have to work out the details but I think it will include several days in Paris and Dublin!!
Today was my CCS conference call for all the participants who are arriving the same day I am. Discussing all the last minute details such as where in the Moscow airport we're meeting... what the homebase is like... what we'll do the first few days... all good info to have :)
Today also commenced my official 'packing'. While I have been gathering items for weeks now, today was the day that I actually started laying stuff out and organizing... luckily K doesn't mind my clothing taking up every surface in the bed and living room :)
While I admit that I have been procrastinating a little when it comes to packing (maybe because I really can't believe that I'm going?!?), having some amazing Chicago summer days these last few days doesn't make packing any easier! That being said, I'm heading out to enjoy some fun in the sun on my 2nd to last day in Chi-town (til August that is :)...
