So maybe I'm not going to work for IC after all. (Do not be deceived. I will probably work with IC for as long as IC exists.) The Peace Corps has always been an option in the back of my mind, but upon evaluating and reevaluating and actually being serious about my options for post-college life, it is definitely the most potentially rewarding option. It's a 27 month commitment, and I don't get to decide where I go (although I do get to state my preference)... so it's clearly the most terrifying option... but as a good friend consistently reminds me, you're never truly living unless you're in a state of discomfort. And it's so true. Upon realizing that, I knew what it was I had to do. I'm not going to spend thousands to go to the place of my choosing for a little while to do a very specific, directed, repeated, generic job that I choose based on my own wants. That gives me very little to live and to learn... and even less to help. Peace Corps it is... wish me luck!
