stress...

i have a lot of it.
it's kind of incredible.
i have somehow managed to have such a care-free stress-free year, that now that it's hit me, it feels like a load of bricks.

reasons for my stress:
1. i have not been sleeping well. no matter where i am, i just don't ever seem to wake up rested anymore. perhaps this is due to the immense heat we are experiencing now, but who knows.
2. i have just over two months left here in Cuernavaca...and i have recently realized how much i am hoping to get done before i leave, and i just don't know if there is enough time left to get it all done. there are places to visit, books to read, work to finish, gifts to prepare, recipes to learn, i tell you its never ending...
3. my work/project: i am in the thick of things. i hope to have my first draft done by the end of next month, and there is SO much to do before then. right now i'm in the midst of interviewing the community, which is interesting, though rather stressful AND very time consuming
4. i am trying to decide what to do with my life. more specifically, what to do post-SALT. i'm in the midst of the application process with MVS (Mennonite Voluntary Service), and looking into a position in Madison working with Latino immigrants. We'll see where that goes....

but to get my mind off all my stress and things to do, i'm headed to mexico city this weekend to hang out with my aunt and uncle. should be a grand time!

hasta la proxima.
