My friend from school, Rubey, always makes fun of how I wear my nametag from work everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. If I go out to eat after work, I have it on until someone lets me know. I"ve been known to have it on at all times and even up to 2 hrs. after work. Iris is a girl in my class and her mom told me a few days ago that she plays school every afternoon, and guess what? Always has the nametag. I often play this off as, "Oh, I totally forgot." or "How embarassing!" But just for honesty's sake, I like to wear it. I like to tell people I have a real job and I work all day. It's a little sad I gain confidence by a nametag/door opener.
I bought a ticket to Thailand for the summer. I hesitated going for a few reasons: 1. traveling alone for 24 hrs. is intimidating to me 2. being gone all summer is a long time when I have a real job to come back to 3. i have to make a conscious decision to believe God can use someone as imperfect as me. I think more than anything, I'm humbled at the oppertunity. The doors were wide open with little effort on my part. I leave May 30th.
The kids in my class have gotten REAL funny. Lately it's been by songs that they sing. "Gramerous, fossy, dossy" and "Gasolina." I think I have at least 3 stand up comedians in my class. love it.
When I write my blog I feel like I'm just sending these words out into this crazy, technological world that doesn't make any sense to me. I don't really believe that anyone reads it, or can read it for that matter, because I'm writing it here in my apt. how could these words possibly go anywhere else? I think I'm a little in denial about the advances of technology.

it was so good to see you this weekend- i am glad you were able to come!
name tag....pledge pin....any similarities??? : )
i like to think of it this way...why wouldn't you go? 24 hrs. with your ipod, some magazines, perhaps a good book...maybe i will work on some tunes for you before the departure. austin will miss you this summer.
I love the name tag...it makes you feel official:)
I am also so excited for you to go to Thailand...I will miss you but I know it will be incredible...and think how independent you'll feel after 24 hours of traveling:)
there is something strangely empowering about the nametag. ours now are programmed to open the doors too so i think it is extra cool!
you are going to be a blessing in thailand and you are going to be blessed! i know it!
erika, i love reading your blog, so keep it up. also, bryan and our youth group are going to chiang mai also, so i wonder if yall will be in the same place. i know you dont know any of them, but it might be nice to see some americans depending on what you are doing. it was so great to see you last weekend!
No fair. I don't get a name tag at work. Last week our whole building went outside for a fire drill and everyone else had name tags but the people from my office...
Take off the name tag already.
I am with Mija...why wouldn't you go? Hello, Mexico you just go that is what you do, so just go again.
my name is sewn into my shirt... nametag on steroids
