The times they are a changing....

Oh yes they are.......

At some point, my "stable"  (haha!) life in Omaha changed, and now I am remembering what it is like to be a traveler, so soon, I can once again, join the ranks as an explorer. It's been a long time coming, and I am prepared for the challenge. 2 weeks from now: move out of apt and become homeless....

Just spend 12 glorious days with Katrina- friend from Greece, and showing her the sights and the sounds of American life- which all include baseball, beer, jag, dinner parties, shopping, "clubbing...." It's been so wonderful to have her here- she's a consistent reminder of why it's important to travel. 

And now, I once again wake up to an empty apartment- no more houseguests, no passed out bodies lay across the living room, and with it, a strange cleanliness which this apartment rarely sees. Now, life is a daily reminder that things will inevitably change...

Still have received no word on the status of my Nurses Board Application. Just shot them an email today to see how many more corrections I have to make to my name on my application.  I realize, I am getting slightly nervous. In the end though, I have a plane ticket (one-way), a backpack, and enough funds to grant me food or housing as I backpack across New Zealand... The rest will fall into place, it always does.
