So the internship that I been doing for ISU is amazing. The last couple years all I have felt is that I was stuck in a rut, proclaiming that I was going to do something big, make something of myself, and having no results. But this internship has made me feel great. I feel like I am contributing to something greater. It is setting me up for future I can see myself greatly enjoying.
Part of my internship is that I am a TA for a Sociology 101 class, with over 200 students!! At first it was a little intimidating but after some time I feel like I am Getting the hang of it. It is making me defiantly brush up on all the basics of sociology. Which frankly I have forgotten some of it.
Peace corps recruiter called couple days ago. Did the usual follow up questions, what's your biggest fear, update your resume, you know the usual. Then she asked me a question that I wasn't ready for. Thru asked what my experience with farm animals was. I told them my dad owned a ranch that I frequently helped at. She told me good that she would put me down for animal husbandry also. AT first I was okay with it, the more I thought about it though I became less and less comfortable with it . Not because it not something I don't wanna do but something I felt I didn't have the expertise with to claim I can go and educate people about it, so tomorrow I think I will call and ask if i don't be nominated for that.
This week in general has been filled with a lot of joyous news. The internship and Peace corps. But at the same time had its downs too. Hanging with all my friends and talking to them about peace corps has made the decision finally sink in. People are making plans for next year or for next summer and i simply cant join them. I most likely will be gone. Its a weird feeling. I know their is a lot of steps between nomination and actually getting your invite but i feel like the decision has been made. I am going to go. Not sure when, where, or how exactly i just know that I must go.
