About me
As the title suggests, this is a chronicle of my changing times. I currently live Arlington, Virginia and I go to graduate school at ESIA at GWU. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Haskovo, Bulgaria. Now I'm what's called a RPCV. I see this as an open diary of where I was, where I am and of course where I hope to go. It's a record of the daily trials, tribulations, successes and distractions of my journey. I hope you enjoy it. Welcome to a slice of my world. I'm also obliged to say that this is not an official Peace Corps website and the views and information presented here are my own and do not represent official Peace Corps views.

I really need to start putting more out here... I've thought over what I wrote last time about putting myself out there, and I've decided that the real reason I'm writing this is not for anyone else, but rather for myself and those few who I've invited to read along... It matters not whoever else drops by. As I mentioned in the purpose of this blog, it is a Chronicle of my Changing Times.
I'm trying to focus once again on working on my long-range goals. It seems like I do this once or twice a month. I end up giving myself a pep talk of sorts and feel really motivated. My problem is I'm easily distracted. It's truly one of my downfalls. I've always been about what was immediately in front of me, and rarely about long-range goals. So I cut myself some slack in that I'm trying to change what I consider a flaw of mine. Specifically over the last couple days I've come closer to arranging tutoring ESL at my sister's Elementary school, emailed a RPCV and friend about specifics about applying, got myself caught up on my Macro Econ class, arranged funding so I can purchase the book for my Micro class (& test this upcoming Sat morning).
My latest goal is to have the PC app done by next week. This of course means I have to write my 2 personal essays, which for some reason I've been avoiding. And let me tell you no one's better at avoiding then me when I set my mind to it. To try and combat this, I'm trying to make myself accountable to some people. I hopefully will have about 3-4 people proof the drafts before I send them off. I've mentioned to almost all of them that they should have them by the weekend.
Yeah, this isn't the most exciting or thought provoking entry, but I think it's important for myself to keep track of some of my struggles.
One final note, I finally did get the picture of my Goddaughter and myself, but of course it wasn't sized appropriately and is the approximate size of Montana. Apparently I can't resize the picture (or maybe I'm just doing something horribly wrong) so I'm awaiting yet another copy to be emailed to me. One day I will post it. Really.
