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.

As a friend of mine pointed out, I haven't updated this in a while. It's not that I haven't wanted to or have lacked Ideas - those come easy as hard as that is to believe considering I seem to always put up just tedious updates as to what I'm doing or (not) accomplished. Well, I do have plenty of thing's I'd like to write about, things I'd want to say. I run into two problems: 1. I don't think of them in a timely fashion (ie - I'm in bed, driving home, at work or am droping the kids off at the pool), or 2. I don't have time to properly write that which I want to. As I'm sure many of you are aware, this can be a time consuming task - rewarding yes, but time consuming. Especially if you want to put up quality posts. When I have the most free time (at work) it's difficult to write becuase of interuptions and blog difficulties (with the editor and work firewalls???) My sincere goal is to spend less time watching TV and playing Risk on my computer and start writing more. After all, if I do end up going to Peace Corp then I plan on using this as a place to easily keep the masses (all 4 of you) informed about my life in loo of any mass emails. I just think the journal/diary entry is much more cozy.
As for life: the obligatory update is that I've written my first draft of my first essay (Yay!) and want to have the second done tomorrow night. Took a test on Sat for Micro - don't know how I did since I really didn't study as hard as I could have. I'm a bit worried about it. As of today I have officially paid off my CC debt. Something to smile about. Had a minor setback with smoking - but not really. I'll explain later in depth. Dad's 60th B'day was Sunday. I don't know how universities can get away with charging exhorborant amounts for parking. And, finally, talking to good friends is always a blessing. I need to remember that whilst most of my friends are strewn to the four couners of the country; I need to count myself lucky to have such outstanding people my associates and contemporaries. It's cliche, yes; but I really am lucky. I miss them all.
Well, I'm off to bed with the vain hope of somehow getting up early tomorrow morning to go work out. At least I'm pretending to try...
