Thinking about tomorrow won’t change how I feel today

Yesterday I officially declined my invitation to serve in Azerbaijan. It all started last Thursday when I discovered that I will not be able to finish up my last two classes of my Masters in Nonprofit Management in the summer term. Here were my options:

1. Decline my invitation for September, take the two classes in the fall to finish up my degree then hope for an invite sometime in January to March.
2. Forget my last two classes and go into the PC in September as planned. The problem is I don't know if I would ever finish up the degree after and I don't want to be obligated to come back to Florida. (I do love Florida and think I will return, but who knows how I will feel after the PC and I don't want to feel obligated to return.)

It was a tough decision with much debate, but I realize the PC will be there in six months, and its just as important to finish my degree when I am so close.

So goodbye Azerbaijan.......heres looking toward the next invite, and discovery of another country!

A few positives to staying in Florida longer:
- running the fall races
- November marathon
- Christmas with family
- more time with friends
- fall league frisbee!
