OK, so I have a new "thing" that I'm thinking about doing for the next phase in my life. I've recently renewed my quest to figure out what the hell to do after I quit since it's getting closer to summer. I had originally planned to quit my job in May, but I've pushed that back to June or July. It's getting close to go-time, so I've been researching out the wazoo. Is that how you spell "wazoo," by the way?

Anyway, I looked back at all the same old stuff...Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teaching English as a Foriegn Language in Costa Rica, etc. Nothing was sitting too well with me. There were gaps, or things were too expensive, or programs were too long (the Peace Corps is a two-year committment. Damn). I recently found a program in Spain...Cursos Internacional at the Universidad de Salamanca. It's reasonable with it's pricing, includes accommodations AND medical insurance, and I get all the benefits that students attending the University get (I can use all the facilities, etc). It sounds SO cool. I totally didn't expect to end up in Spain, but it just feels like it fits. I did a little happy dance (really....I did) when I finished reading up on everything. So, I emailed them to ask a few questions, emailed a lady living there from the United States to ask questions and will await responses before making the next move.
