Our big outing today was applying to volunteer. Actually step 2 of the application process. The first part was online, several months ago now. This part was called a tryout and was actually an interview. The questions were either a follow-up on the earlier application and a few new questions.
Part 1 had 24,000 applicants. 6,000 made the cut to Part 2. Apparently 2,400 will be chosen from this group. What are our chances? Who knows.
We want to be involved when the World Cup, somehow. The most likely scenario is going down to the stadium area and hanging out to participate in the vibe. The second scenario would be landing a volunteer gig. The third scenario is managing to get a ticket through one of the lotteries.
Carl only applied because I wanted to. If we don’t get chosen I will be a little disappointed, but fine. Carl will be fine either way.
The focus is really on having the soccer world come to Seattle. However it turns out for us.

I couldn’t understand how it could be that competitive to volunteer, but it makes sense since it’s with the World Cup! That would be quite an adventure!

I’m just going to wait and see what happens. There’s not a lot of communication, until there is. I wasn’t sure they even had my application, until I got a birthday email from them.
