Things are really starting to get interesting. I'm noticing more and more how much they need me over there in that office. It's not that I'm just doing menial labor, like they can't think of anything for me to do, so they just set me to a random task. This is stuff they would have to be doing, and frankly, I'm not sure when they would find time to do it. No, I'm taking a lot of heat off of them.
But that's not the interesting part. I contacted the ISC to discuss the Health and Safety Orientation, and I discovered that they would rather just pass the materials to me and let me go. So I'm going to be giving this presentation mostly on my own. It's a little bit nerve-wracking, because this is a pretty important orientation, but it's also very, very exciting. I'm taking the lead on this, and nobody seems to doubt or mind that I'm going after it. I just hope that I'll be able to manage it.
Something that's been on my mind, and I've suddenly started discussing it with other people. I think I may stay an extra semester. John and Kip have told me that they will continue letting me work with them. And I could work full time to put some money in my bank for when I do go. But I DO need to go. I don't enjoy pushing this date back, because a little part of me is afraid that now, it's going to keep getting pushed, but I have to believe I'm going to go. If I don't, I know in 20 years it will be the single greatest regret of my life.
