You know, I’m coming up on 11 months abroad, and I still have no idea what I want. But as usual, I’m forced to pick something anyway. So, I decided not to follow through on the work contract. I had the contract; it was completed and ready to go. All I had to do was ... Read More
Phew. I give myself permission to take a break from my blog and focus on my work… … and the next thing I know, it’s been almost a month, and everybody’s worried that I’m lying in a ditch somewhere. Well. I am very probably certain that the latter is not true. But I have been ... Read More
