I'm living with the parents now in their fantastic, newly renovated home in New Hampshire, USA. Even though I grew up by the ocean, with "sand in my shoes" as my mum says, I feel so much more at home in the hills and mountains. I'm very thankful/excited/relieved to have my parents living in foothills rather than sand dunes. Don't get me wrong, sand dunes are beautiful, I just happen to prefer rolling hills, solitude of the mountains, wilderness, etc.
Today I need to get more paperwork in line. My fantastic (ex)adviser at UMF pushed my transcript and teacher certifications through the bureaucratic tangles of various education offices, and now I need to send them away. Additionally, my $30,000 worth of loans need to be dealt with, and, oh yeah, I've got to unpack my entire life from my van. And then pack it up again and huff it half way across the globe.
So yeah, and China PCVs or fellow applicants, post away and give me something to read!

Yeah, I guess the block is longer than we thought it'd be. Don't know if you started packing, but trying to keep everything at 80 pounds is hard. Good luck with finishing your paperwork for teaching!
New Hampshire... a lot of my family lives there, mostly around the Portsmouth area. And my parents have a house on the border of New Hampshire and Maine- it's quite beautiful there! :) I love the mountains too!
Good luck with packing... I think selling my car was the most difficult part of the whole experience since I was in California and had to fly back to the east coast to see my family before staging.
I'll see you in a month!!! Oh, and I've posted to my blog... I'm back in business!!!
