So I know it's not likely at all, but I just found a posting for what sounds like the sweetest job -- for the moment, that is:
"Coordinator, International Basketball Operations" with the NBA.
Again, super long shot seeing as how thousands of people probably apply for online jobs, especially with professional sports associations.
The job encompasses my two recent passions: International Affairs and Sports.
Here are some of the position's responsibilities:
• Assist with event planning for the U.S. Senior Men’s National Team on Qualifying Tournaments, World Championships and Olympics
• Assist all player visa issues (green cards, family tourist visas, letters of invitation)
• Assist management of product donation to individual player’s camps, clinics or basketball schools
• Assist NBA teams ticket and credential needs for European Final Four, European Championships and World Championships
• Assist with FIBA, international federation and league invitations for NBA and WNBA All-Star events (e.g., invitations, hotel arrangements, tickets, visas)
• Coordinate BWB meetings (reserve meeting space, set-up call, agenda)
• Coordinate apparel with sponsors (practice jerseys and shorts, t-shirts, polos, sweat outfits, bags)
• Work with participating federations on securing player information, travel and visas
• Assist organization of coaching clinics and program for participating junior coaches
• Assist testing of players (height, weight, wingspan and standing reach) and compile results for NBA scouts
SOUNDS SO FUN!!! I could totally see myself doing something like this. And one of the requirements is to be fluent in French, I'm in baby! That is, if they even look at my resume...

Go for it, chica!!
Hey! Nice to hear from you. Looks like you've had a memorable couple weeks traveling... I hope your second semester goes as well as your first!
P.S. We're having unseasonably warm weather now... 50 degrees today, 60 yesterday. It's crazy. In a day it dropped 20 degrees, and in another two days it rose 40. Supposed to get moderately cold again tonight. I can't keep track!
