Supa excited

So much is happening! So much has happened! I wont bore you with all the details about what has happened to me since my last post. Rather I will comment on the future. Seems weird, right?

Well I have BIG news...

I finally got medically cleared for Peace Corps service!!! I am a multitude of emotions right now...at the forefront are nervousness and excitement. WOW. I mean I am getting closer to leaving everyday. The regional nurse in Washingon, DC told me that I would be placed within the next two weeks and I would be notified ASAP. Well thing is, is that my mum called me and told me a woman from the placement office called and I need to call her back. Of course I did but she was not there...BUMMER!! All this waiting is awful - although at the same time I dont want to know where I am going yet b.c it will all seem so final and just like that, I'll be on my way to a land of desolation and modern asceticism.

Also, I made the appointment to get my wisdom teeth out for the 23rd...anyone want to nurse me back to health?! I prefer nice/hot boys but at this point I'll take anyone! (lol) So after those babies are out I will get my tix in the mail and be off...


OK the future now, so the Boilermaker is Sunday. I am leaving in a bit to go to Utica to engage in the usual Boilermaker weekend traditions. I'll go to the casino tonight and spend money then tomorrow go to the expo and eat all day then Sunday run the big 15k (9.3 miles for you non-runners). I'm running with my old teammate Meredith...we are SUPA EXCITED. Our goal (which will seem slow to the advanced runner) is to cross the finish at less than 1:25:00. Come watch us!!

ROC Pride is next week! Dave is coming up and we are going to have soooo much fun! Finally he will be here after 4 years of never coming to the ROC to see me...what a fucking whore. I am just soooo excited. This will be my first pride event since I came out. Yeah, so I will leave it at that - SUPA EXCITED!

Sadly, I will be moving out of 61 Cornell at the end of the month and begin my new residence in the ROC (yes! I am staying here!) with a friend. I will miss this house, the people in this house, and the location of this house (haha) so much words cannot describe it. If you know me then you know my love for this house. I don't want to leave it! Even though I live in what people consider the "city" and it has its fair share of violence...I would choose no other place to live...thats if I had a choice.


Now I am off to run my ass off (hopefully!). Stay safe and have fun people...it's the summer! Enjoy life.

Jon xoxo
