It's Monday evening, and I'm surrounded by boxes and piles. As overwhelming as moving is, I think I may just be on track for a not too terribly stressful last night here. At least that's the goal. We'll see.
My flight leaves this Friday morning (arriving Saturday morning, London time). Before then, I have many trips to Goodwill to make, friends and family to say goodbye to, and two large suitcases to stuff as full as possible. Oh, and I have to finish my presents that I'll be bringing with me to Rotary presentations (homemade cards with photos from home). Tomorrow morning I'm heading up to Bremerton to enjoy my last political event before heading out- a debate between my (now former) boss and his opponent. Should be fun!
Many people have asked me about the origin to my blog's name: What Will Work? Well, it began back in college, if memory serves. I was a political science major, peace and conflict studies minor. In all those social science classes, I was overwhelmed by the problems facing today's society, and the burden they will (and have been) placing on my generation. I would often find myself scribbling in my notebooks "What Will Work???" Instead of getting depressed with all the things that needed fixing, I started to think about all the things that could be done. And that's what I hope this masters program will help me to continue. Finding positive solutions to the difficulties that we face. That's how I decided to select "What Will Work" as my website address.
Well, I better get back to packing. Tomorrow I'll go exchange some money for pounds since I won't have a bank account for a few days once I arrive. I got my international drivers license today, just in case I'll need to drive while abroad.... all these little things are important!!!
