starting all over again

OK. So, as I've said, I spent three years up near Edinburgh working for a fantastic local council doing work with young people. Due to changes in their needs I can't go back there (even though I'd love to) so I'm back where I was five years ago... trying to find that holy grail of a full-time, residential spot with a registered charity.

I'm hoping to be back in the UK by the autumn but for now I'm combing the res suggestions here on do-it as well as using a book that has tons of listings (Directory of International Voluntary Work) so I'm hoping things will turn up.

Today, though, I'm bummed as one spot I'd applied for apparently just got filled this week -- *&^$#! But, I just keep telling myself that 'the one' will surface (soon, hopefully)!

My bright spot for the day? An email from one of my best friends I made over there (hhmm.. this could get very confusing). That always makes me happy! It amazes me how quickly and how intensely friendships develop amongst volunteers.
