1. Mama and Daddy are now safely back in the United States. I hear that their luggage is not with them, but that has only been reported from one source (my father). I have every reason to believe him. :-)

2. Today I applied for a job that I'm super, super interested in. Now, you might be saying to yourself: "Rachel Ann, why are you applying for a job? Aren't you going to graduate school?"
Well, I was accepted to graduate school. However, there is no shortage of high school history teachers. They want math, science or Spanish (as a general rule) and so the funding was just not there. We couldn't really see the practicality of amassing a ton of debt just so I can go to school for something I maybe want to do.

Honestly, I feel pretty relieved. I love working, I've really missed having a job and I at least have worked before and know I enjoy it. I've never taught anything though.

So, anyway, I'm applying to special events coordination positions. The one I applied for today is a history-education-based NGO. We'll keep you updated on our continuing request to become gainfully employed.
