Finally...

It has been confirmed that school officially starts with students on August 18th, so I am expected to report to work on August 11th, which means I am headed to Cancun on August 5th! I already purchased my ticket! Now I just need to make sure I know where I am going once I get there.

I did find a roommate though, after advertising on the Cancun craigslist. Dyanna is from Monterrey, Mexico and we seem to have a lot in common so far. She studied engineering, worked in a manufacturing plant, decided it wasn't for her, and now works as a consultant. She wants to move to Cancun for all the same reasons I do. The best part is that, even though she doesn't already have a job there, she is Mexican, so she won't have any problem finding legitimate work, so I will be able to get a decent apartment with her.

So things are finally happening. The anxiety is starting to take over though so I am getting less and less sleep, but, my former college roommate reminded me while I was in Alaska last week that I can do just about anything for a year. So true, Laura.
