So I just got back from Wycliffe's TOTAL it up, aka "taste of translation and linguistics". And it was an awesomely swell time, can't lie. I met a bunch of language dorks and it was amazing! Everyone was cool, and I am now in contact with a recruiter. I'm still not sure in which area I want to specialize, but I'm thinking maybe literacy? Because they do literacy projects in addition to Bible translation, since obviously if people can't read a Bible is no good for them. Esp. since my degree will technically be in teaching, so it'd be good use of it. Also translators change their career many times within the organization, so there's nothing to fear. And the passion and stories of great faith that the people I met there were true inspirations, and the message of the Scripture in every language is really initiative I can get behind. So in short, I really like Wycliffe and maybe, more than likely, I will work for them someday soon.

The good thing is that I probably will not work all of these hours, since we can only work 40 per week, since they can't pay us overtime. So. That's good in a way. And I mean they know the rule and still scheduled me, so they can't be mad. Eh well. I have tomorrow and Sunday off praise God, because I need to clean my room, and such. And now I think I'm going to relax and have free time, something I haven't really experienced much this week. =)
