nine months of expense reports crashing.

nine months of laughter at how terrible some situations felt.

nine months of emailing, booking, banking, transfering, withdrawing, receipting, counting, sitting, waiting, and typing.

oh, logistics.


 

in some ways i will miss this. in many ways, i won’t. i’ve learned so much from this job, mostly about how you don’t actually have to be stressed unless you choose to be.


 

thank you, phil, for bringing the peace always. thank you for listening to me freak out and reminding me that Jesus is always bigger.

 

 

thank you for indulging my coffee addiction on wednesday mornings,

 

 

eating doritos with me in the afternoon,

 

 

 

building a fort with kate and i on our one off day,

 

 

and exploring cool art museums while we wait for bus companies and hostels to reply.

 

 

this job has taught me patience, how not to stress (& truly mean that) even if you do miss two 37 people flights, and funnily enough, it gave me a lifelong friend that i never would have picked out on my own for so many reasons. i could make this sappier but this isn’t really goodbye, thank God.



i’m so excited we never have to receipt another freaking thing after this thing is over, and i’m the most excited that this isn’t the end of the kori & phil reality tv show that is our friendship. salute to alumni team leading & to never having to do that much math again.

 

p.s. clay & aimee,

you are rockstars and incredible logistics coordinators. thank you for every single thing you do. we love & appreciate you more than words could say.


thank you for reading the little piece of mi corazón.

much love,

kori
