It's been a long time.

Well, it's been a long time since I blogged. I guess my confession should come as no surprise, then: I'm really bad at blogging. I guess I'm good at blogging when I actually do it, but I'm bad at getting to that point.
But no matter - here I am, blogging. And a lot has happened...so much so that I would rather just say "a lot has happened" and leave it at that.
Looking forward, then:
I quit my job on Sunday. I am unemployed.
In three days, I will board a plane and fly to France, where I will spend five weeks taking two political science classes from one of my SPU professors. More importantly, I'll be in France.
After those five weeks are up, I'll fly to Germany (just bought my plane ticket this morning!) to spend two weeks with my dear friend, Isi, whom I met when I participated in a German-American exchange in 2007. France will be wonderful, yes, but I'm stupid-excited to go back to Germany!
I will return to the U.S. on August 23, just in time to spend a few weeks recovering from a relaxing European vacation before launching into my position as editor-in-chief of The Falcon newspaper at SPU. Not a daunting task at all.
Then it's a year of school and Falcon-ing and writing and praying for the next step.
Basically, the next year is pretty well mapped out, but I don't have a clue what I'm going to do after that. Strangely enough, that's what I'm looking forward to.
