I am planning on leaving the country semi-permanently on Christmas.
Although I will be back for about a week in early March(if I do go to SxSW I’ll be in the states for a few more days)
and probably do the same thing in September,
I will be spending most of next year abroad, and hopefully for years after that since I plan on applying for jobs in London.
(right now I plan on working for a year or two before going to a foreign grad school-in Singapore, anyone?)
I’m spending Mar~Sep in Latin America but not sure of my exact schedule yet so I’ll update my schedule in mid-December.
but for now, I am set to leave for Tokyo on Christmas, and will be going to a language school for about 8 weeks and travel for about 2 weeks before coming back to NY/Philly for about a week.
My last exam(woohoo~) is on the 19th which probably means that you, NYer and Philadelphian folks can only meet me up sometime between 21st(or 22nd)~24th before seeing my fetching mug again in….god knows when.
or maybe you can travel with me, working our way up from south to north america June->September.
anyways so I want to see you before I leave because I’m such a “people person.”
oh and F.A.Q for all you curious monkeys:
Q: When are you graduating?
A: I finished my course work early(I started college in 2004) so this fall semester is my last one, however I’ll be filing for graduation in May since my language classes in South America will be funded by financial aid.
Q: What is your major?
A: I’m getting a BBA in marketing management concentrating in International Marketing and my minor is Literature in Translation. so they are sort of, kind of(not really) related to my traveling.
Q: Where do you get all this money to travel/study abroad?
A: one word: scholarship.
Q:Can I visit you in Japan/Argentina/Chile/Peru(possibly)?
A: yes. I will provide lodge so just bring food.
Q:When will you post pics from ____?
A: lol don’t know. if you are a photoshop expert who can remove dust spots and make some minor changes(e.g. level) and resize for free, well, contact me. I’ll write the stories…if I remember any.
Q:WTF?
A: I know, right?
