things sure can change

It's been awhile. Dance ended up being really incredible and fun, we all grew really close. (but at least 12 hours a day and 5-6 days a week can do that to you). I'm sad that I have now jumped back into the working scene. It sucks knowing that for the rest of my life I will be working. Nomore care-free summer days. Irish and I are now preparing to embark on a very different journey than either of us could have imagined. Graduate school.

He will be going somewhere (not sure yet) to graduate in public health and from there to some third world country to change lives. It's crazy. I mean you grow up thinking that you want to change the world, to really make a difference, and I'm quickley finding that not many people do. But, here is our chance. We have a legitimate change to try to change the world. To improve the lives of so many across the world. What a crazy thing to think of. In just two years I might be in Africa testing water and teaching better health or in Russia teaching mom's how to take care of themselves and their babies. I mean I'm not going to grad school, I'm not going to learn what Irish is, but I will be involved. I have to be. I have to take my chance to change the world. It's pretty crazy to think about.

I don't know when or how I will graduate, I guess a lot of that depends on where we go. Don't worry, I'll finish, it's not good enough for me not to. But I am excited. New life, new places, new people. I can't believe it.
