Getting the itch...

So this is currently the site that greets me outside my window.  Okay maybe not exactly that picture but something similar.  Still out here in Alfred, still in the middle of nowhere, but with the time I've had since getting back from the trip I do believe I've found the peace that I've been looking for.  Now that's not to be confused with having a peaceful life for sure.  My life currently involves going to work at all hours thanks to the glorious job of being a Residence Director (which I love [especially the turlets]), going back and forth to Buffalo to finish my Masters degree which crossing my fingers should be my last semester, homework from said studies, and hitting up the bar whenever possible with Dean.  But while I've found peace and stability in my life its also quickly approaching that time when I gotta split for a little while so some hard decisions are ahead.  Do I get Sophira rebuilt and take her back out on the road again, or do I complete my journey through central America.  Both have their pros and cons, both offer attractive opportunities to RUN!, and both are rolling around in my head currently.

One thing is for sure though.  I'll have to get the blog up and running again, reformat it to align with my new plan, but whatever I do I'm sure it'll be a blast!  As of now I'm looking at staying in Alfred for one more year , at least enough time to get my peace corps application in and complete my biggest goal thus far:  2 years living abroad.


Suggestions are always welcome! Where should I go?  What should I do?  What should my blog focus on?  Money and time are definitely my two biggest restraints, but with a steady paycheck coming in over the summer and a full two months to go galvanization around, the only other restraint is the imagination.

Pictures like this make me want to hop back on and go!!
