Summer of the Monkeys

I leave September 24 to go to Ukraine for Peace Corps. I'm going to teach secondary English education, and i couldn't be more excited right now.

Now that my thesis is finished, I have three things i plan to do until it's time to leave: party, ride my bike, and watch baseball. The rest of the summer is going to be celebration of life with my closest friends and family. Let's get it started with some bubbly tonight!

12 year-old Charles: The word erection is in the title if you look for it.

Adult Charles: I write from the library while i should be working on my thesis. Revisions are such a pain in the ass. It's always been so much easier for me to be flawless.

Earlier i read a blog entry of a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV), and she laid out a timeline for the invitation process. I took away two things: (1) don't worry about seeing that invite until the beginning of August, and (2) maybe i should start using my blog again - get everyone back in the swing before i leave.
