Sorry for the delay in posts. I have just been swamped with things. I had to give up my teaching position for my "Church." It was an extremely hard thing to do, and I felt horrible for quite some time. I felt like I had to give up not only something that was very important to me, but also my way of giving back. I was offered the position of a Substitute though, so I am very excited. Things always work out in some way or form. It may not be what we initially thought, but I am grateful nevertheless.
The Public Affairs Club is coming along. It had some rough patches, but people are getting interested!!! I am very excited about that. I got asked to be a Senator for Student Government here as well, so I decided to take that position. Who knows, maybe I will even run for an office in the Student Government next year. I think I was having a difficult managing my time because graduate school is so different from undergrad. I have been challenged so much in my way of thinking. It is just a totally different mindset in the way we look at everything. It has been amazing, and I feel like I am learning and growing so much.
I also got into this program in Chicago. You have to apply and then if you get accepted, they pair you up with an advisor. She is going to help me find internships and get situated as I enter the professional world. I have a few internships lined up, so I am excited to have things to choose from!
I am looking into becoming the Student Trustee for IU. It is not due till January 2011, but I know how these things work and I will need to begin to get all my things ready now. It is always good to work toward something in my opinion instead of just randomly applying for things that come up. I think that works sometimes, but I think there is value in having a general idea of where you want to go in life.
I am looking to apply for a Ph.D. in Philanthropic Studies in Indianapolis. I am very excited about this. Hopefully while earning my Ph.D. I can get a fellowship with Housing or CCL or a teaching position. I cannot wait for this phase of my life! I am also looking into dual degrees possible with an M.B.A.
I am ready to make a change, make a difference. Get ready everyone! :-)

Bravo amigo, bravo. You have a wealth of oportunities in front of you, and I'm excited that you chose to utilize the network you worked so hard at creating in Indy. Always remember to keep your eyes open for the next chance (trust me, it'll come). Jealous about the advisor on professional life, but I might just have to pick one up somewhere along the way :D
