Journal Entries:
"..I woke up feeling nervous and vulnerable that I don't have a real job, nor have I had one for months... I hustled enough to be able to pay my car payment while I am gone, as well as have a little to help.. but I haven't worked (other than freelance jobs, including one for my mom;) in so long, that I feel vulnerable, useless and incompetent..."
"..On a correlating note, I started looking into grad school, and want to become a professor! Something about rummaging through all your old high school AP notes, and college essays will make you jump back to a hopeful stance. A Green MBA sounds nice, and will help me have a steady, rewarding profession that can allow me to take care of my family. And one day even take Travis on a trip!"
"...other than waiting for UPS guys that never come, Travis and I have had a really loving pre-adventure. We've been doing cheesy stuff like holding hands, cuddling, dancing and singing to music on his laptop. We have sparse resources here. Natalie's blow-up bed, no towels/pillows, etc., but a few bowls, one cup and $20 worth of groceries... The simple life of two people in love. So cheezy!.."
"..doubting.. coughing... errands... crossword puzzles... ornery moods between both of us..."
"..Went to see Avatar (http://www.avatarmovie.com/) last night, it was a pretty amazing movie with a wonderful message about interconnectedness and protecting our planet. Travis loved the movie and raved about it on our 30 min. walk home from the ArcLight. It inspired him to want to work for GreenPeace..."
"Today we are leaving. Jacquelyn is going to pick us up and take us to Air France!... we have a lot of last minute things to do: mailing my cell phone home (will be weird to be without a phone for months), wash a few clothes, unplug fridge, clean up... And then we are going to India!.. we even got fake wedding rings so I won't get as harrassed..haha"
