What Am I Doing Next?

To tell you the truth, I have no idea.

Back when I still resided in San Antonio, my plan for the summer was to be in Austria.  Unfortunately, I was unable to take that trip.  Therefore, I have been feeding calves here on my family's farm since March.

At the end of March, I started thinking about the next steps in my life.  The conclusion I came to was to apply for the Peace Corps.

I submitted my Peace Corps application in the beginning of April, received more paperwork to fill out at the end of the month, and then headed to Chicago on May 23rd for my interview.  On June 3, I was officially nominated to become a volunteer in Sub-Saharan Africa doing Agriculture Extension work.  I am currently in the process of finalizing my dental and medical exams. 

I am on my way to becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer, however, the service project I've been nominated for has a departure time next April 2012.  So, what do I do for the next ten months?

My parents are bidding for my time to stay on as calf feeder until August, I have been requested to help out again at the Wisconsin State Fair, and I have amazing friends all across the U.S. that I'd love to live near.  

Next week I know I will be in Wisconsin Dells for the National Jersey Convention, but after that...No Clue!  Will I stay here at home, find a real or temporary job out in the world, work at State Fair, or become homeless and bike/walk/hitch-hike aimlessly across the countryside? 

If you have a super exciting job, activity, or project that you think I should spend my time doing, let me know!!  I am so ready for my next adventure!!
