Not Ghana Do it

December 22, 2004 ( life )

GeekCorps,

I'm sorry to say that I'm just not ready to head back out into the field right now. I've spent the past three years now out, and have had endless difficulties in managing the grad school application process, (resulting in having to do it again for next fall) and I just need some stateside time to make sure my graduate school application process this time around goes through, loans/grants/scholarships work out, and being available for grad school interviews.

It's an amazing opportunity, and I've gotten very little sleep the past few nights debating endlessly with myself on it, but the scales are tipped, ever so slightly, with getting things in order here, to smooth out the next few years of my life.

I realize this puts you and MISTOWA in a tight spot. To mitigate this as much as I can, I would be more than happy to offer whatever technical support via the Internet that I am able to do, from Q&A to suggestions of web design tools and techniques, to even creation of templates, graphics, etc. If their web server setup permits it, I can log in from here and help tweak things around, all as a pure volunteer, and explain what I do to enable skills transfer and sustainability.

And, 3 months or so down the line, after grad school acceptances, funding status, loan requests and whatnot are all squared away, if there's still need on this or other projects, I'd love to talk again.

Regards,
Jon
