So I have about 2 months and one week left before I am off to Rosso, Mauritania to beginning training for my position as a Girls Education and Empowerment Agent. Before I leave I have so much to finish and I have a bunch of things planned to keep me busy.
Well for one I have to complete my masters in sociology. So that means that I need to write a few papers and take some finals, but probably the most important thing that needs to happen is for me to pass my comprehensive exam. May 4th is the infamous day where I need to take this 8 hour long test. I need to answer 3 out of 5 questions by applying social theory and research methods to a diverse array of broad social topics. You either pass or fail the exam and in order to officially obtain your masters you must pass. And I do not have any second chances.
On top of this I am busy teaching at Northampton Community College. That certainly keeps me busy with grading, making lesson plans and tests, and keeping up with all of the students.
Both of these are like full time jobs. They keep the weeks passing on by. So May 4th I will be done with Lehigh and then May 14th I will be done with NCC. After that Kevin and I are going to Disney at the end of May! Planning for that trip has been a lot of fun. Then when I come back from Disney I move out of my place at Lehigh and really start to prepare for Mauritania.
It is all coming so quickly, I feel like I do not have time to do everything. For now, though, I am enjoying the ride and the people I am with.
