Ferry Corsten (of Holland) came to Guatemala City last night. Jeff loves this DJ, and we had an amazing time - it was the first time we've been out clubbing when Jeff wasn't DJing. My arms were sore for two days after from dancing so much with my hands in the air.

Went out to Arguileh at Quatro Gratos Norte with new friends Kerry and Abel. Abel is funny and a squash/soccer star. Kerry makes everyone feel good. Case in point, here is Kerry being supportive of Abel's draw on the hookah.

So here’s the story, in my words: Beginning in September I will be taking a 10-month leave of absence from Deloitte to work at a private high school in Guatemala City! It's a special circumstance, and although temporary, it fits in with what I love to do: consult and teach with technology. Here are my main reasons for going:

• The experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: living overseas for a year, learning a new culture, switching careers drastically while retaining the option to return to Deloitte in the summer of 2005.
• It will be a chance for me to have a unique shared experience with my girlfriend Rebecca, who is currently teaching kindergarten down there.
• If I can correctly frame it such that it supports my story, it will help differentiate me on business school applications.
