This will have to be quick. I should be doing something more productive, but once the kids go to bed, I am worn out!
I must say that my basic Consular course (ConGen) is awesome. I love it. I'm totally overwhelmed, but it's fabulous. It appeals to my detailed and organized nature- I am really looking forward to actually doing my job! I wish I could say more about it, but I'm not allowed. This blog will have to focus on my life outside work.
I really wish I had pushed myself to accomplish more over the last month, because I am now quite busy. All that "white space" during ConGen? Um, yea. There's a reason. During that time, I'm supposed to be reading the instructional guides or working on Case Studies. I'm also taking the Spanish for Consular tradecraft course, which requires 1-2 hours of computer work plus an hour of conversation practice every week.
So now I'm stressed. Because I have to not only excel at this course, but also get us ready to leave for post. Ack. Somehow, it'll get done.
I hope.

Hang in there! The last little bit can get crazy. If it makes you feel any better, I was kicking myself too, wondering why I hadn't done more stuff sooner (and I wasn't the one in class). I can't believe how close to done you are.
Sounds awesome! Best of luck on juggling everything and finding the 25th hour of the day! I wish I could find it, too.
Consular work sounds really fun to me - I hope I have the chance to take ConGen some day. Bueno Suerte!
