Onwards! Towards summarizing my activities of the past year. I graduated from my masters program in environmental education at the University of Wyoming/ the Teton Science School last year. I moved to Steamboat Springs, CO where I worked as a paraprofessional at the Middle School. I ended up taking a job as a math teacher as an emergency hire at Steamboat Springs High School in November of 2006. It was a very educational experience to be a first year teacher in a subject that was not my major (my major was geology)! It was exhausting, but a great learning opportunity!
Luckily, teachers get summmer vacation (a teacher friend listed the top three benefits of a teaching career as: June, July and August). I have been visiting my family in Massachusetts for the past month or so, with some side trips (see photo: a hike in New Hampshire with my father). Currently, I am pretty consumed with packing, running errands, eating as much New England seafood as I can (grilled vegetables, then pasta with mussels last night!), saying goodbyes to family and friends and organizing a formidable ammmount of paperwork.

Yowdy,
Long time, no chat. Have a groovy time in Bulgaria. What will you be doing out there with the Peace Corps? I'm still in my corner of Japan myself (although a different corner than you visited) with no signs of leaving soon.

Hey Beth-
Sounds like things are going well for you- I recognize the kind of hut you're in front of in that pic with your dad- there is no place like the White Mountains eh? A friend of mine just canoed the Allagash with her dad- that would be cool to do again too. Anyway- John and I (and Sam) are blogging too- littletons.blogspot.com. It will be great to track your years in Bulgaria this way. Caitlin
