Call me Awesome, I work with your exchange student.

Within the past couple of weeks, my life went from Family Dollar, to no job, to awesome. What caused this upward spiral of success? The most awesome job opportunity in the world, with the most awesome international exchange organization in the world:

Youth for Understanding - the same group of people who were nice enough to send me to Japan four years ago.

I had been wanting to volunteer with them for ages, but finally decided I needed a step in the right direction for once. So, I filled out my application, and waited.

And waited.

And waited..

And then....SUCCESS.

Now, I have a list of jobs that's potentially getting larger and larger. Everything from advertising students coming to this country, sniffing out which host family will be the best ones, to setting up orientations - and potentially be an ESL tutor.

Basically, I'm this International Coordinator of Awesomeness.

That's it, that should be my title.

And when the going get's rough, I always remember: "I'm learning Korean, I can do anything!"

This statement does ring true for Chemistry, Math, or finding a social life here, but generally does it's job at getting me through the icky moments.

International Coordinator of Awesomeness.....look out UN, here I come.
