I am settled in now, to my new home for the next 8 months or so, in Urbana, IL. Life is good.

I have been trying to get the job I had before I joined the Peace Corps, to be a substitute teacher, and am only witheld by one detail, which is that I need medical records which are not in transit between Tanzania and Washington DC. So I have to wait, unless I want to go get a new TB test and physical, but I literally just did them before leaving, its just a small crack I seem to have fallen in just now.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to hanging out with old friends who are arriving this weekend and so its sort of convenient that work has to wait a little. For the past few days, I have been attending the small details of grocery shopping (which takes a long time now, since I want to look at everything!) and emailing everyone and trying to get back into touch with everyone. I have a new phone now, so if you want that, you should get in touch with me so that I can get it to you. Constant internet is a huge plus to hanging out without too much to do. I'm happy with the weather too - cold is good.
