Chiang Mai-Chico-Washington-Chico, 3.5 weeks!!!

A lot has happened since my last post! I have been back in the US for about 3 weeks now, but it seems like much longer! I have been very busy working the Study Abroad Office, moving into my new apartment, helping 2 of my good friends get ready for their wedding (and then of course attending the wedding last Saturday!), and then taking a road trip up to Washington (the state), with my friend Jeff. It has been a roller coaster ride getting used to being back in the United States and having so much to do, but it has been a lot of fun also. 

My parents even visited last week, but I don't have any pictures from that yet. 

Now I am ready to settle in for the semester. I will be working all this week and next week, finishing moving into my apartment, and helping out with the orientation for the new international students arriving in Chico. Then we'll start the Fall 2008 semester, my last semester as an undergraduate student!!!

I have a lot to do, applying for JET and planning backup options, doing well in my classes, working, and trying to save a little bit of money. 

I'm also going to be studying Japanese on the side, so that if I get into the JET program it won't be quite a shock when I get to Japan. I hope the Japanese students coming to Chico this semester are ready to help me practice! ^-^

Here are pictures going backwards in time from the trip to Washington which I just returned from, all the way back to my last day in Chiang Mai! Click here to see them!

Let me know if you have questions! 

I am going to take some pictures of my life here in Chico for those of you back in Thailand (and everywhere else) to check out! 

Much love,
Katie
