I'm on my way home! Its hard to believe, even as I'm sitting in an airport in Japan. So knows as good time as any to let you all know the answer to question you keep asking: what comes next? Well, the answer is graduate school!
I'm currently enroute back to the U.S., and I'll spend about a month and a half with my parents on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I'm planning to use that time to get over jet lag, relax, catch up with friends and family, and overall transition to being back in the States.
After that, I'm moving to Washington, D.C, where I will start a Master of Ethics, Peace and Global Affairs at American University's School of International Service. I'm still looking for an affordable place to live, and or a part-time job (or two) so that I can afford the cost of living in DC (so if you have any leads, send them my way).
So that's the plan, about two years (give or take a summer or two ) in DC, and then off on even more adventures!
