The next chapter of my life will take place back in Chicago, Illinois!
What a weekend! I flew home and spent three days without even leaving the confines of 912 Lake Street. I fell in love with my nephew, Will, and had a great time catching up with family and friends. He liked me! Some said I even had maternal instincts….not sure I’d go that far, but I didn’t drop him and he seemed pretty calm in my arms. Then I flew to Washington, D.C. for a final round interview.
Received the job offer yesterday, about 99% sure I’ll accept! Having a Fulbright Scholarship is the best; the only bad thing is it has a very fixed end date, so I’m really excited for this new opportunity and it’s a relief to have something nailed down. That being said, it would be hard for me to just pick up my things and leave Colombia as of today, and I think it will be even harder three months from now. I feel a mixture of excitement and sadness. Trying not to think about it just yet.
That’s all for now; thanks to everyone for believing in me.
Anyone looking for a roommate in Chicago?
