my life plan.

1.  3-9 months in Nebraska; vacation with mother, writing, working at Podunk Job.
2.  2 years in Peace Corps.
3.  2 years at D.C. Graduate School; Master's in International Affairs, work/intern at Non-Profit/Think Tank.
4.  Foreign Service, God willing.  If not accepted will continue to work at Non-Profit/Think Tank until accepted. 

Think I've figured out why I like air crash investigations.  Because there are (usually) no bad guys, just bad luck and incompetence and accidents and a lack of information.  And that's what happened to my father.  No one to blame, and that's the way the world is.  Villains are a luxury.

sounds oddly like jason's life plan, except...more planned.

also, that's an interesting reason to like air crash investigations...

Jason wants to join the Foreign Service?

Yeah, the reason just dawned on me the other night. And I think it's why air crashes are so very sad, because no one means to do it (the ones where terrorism is involved bore me).
