Getting Ready

Welcome to the superior "summer of" blog!

I am about to embark on another jaunt to Northern Thailand. As most of you reading this already know, I am going to be spending 3 months working with a Burmese women's group, helping to anazlyze research and write a report on HIV/AIDS rates along the Burma border. It should be interesting and hopefully meaningful work, and should provide great preparation for School of Public Health which I am begining in the fall! Yes thats right, in the next 9 days I have to prepare for a 3 month trip to the other side of the world while completely pack up my apartment to ship things to Baltimore, where I will be pursuing my masters at Johns Hopkins. Of course I also am taking the time to see as many good friends in NY (who I will greatly miss) and foolishly try to get my life in order!

I want to give a big thank you to everyone who came out last night to party and donate to my cause and an even BIGGER shout out to all of you reading this (both near and far) who have stuck by me over the past, very turbulent, year! I couldn't be at this great place in my life if it wasn't for all of you!
Looking forward to hearing from everyone!


On a totally seperate note, to avoid the comments of my last blog, I freely acknowledge that I can't spell and I have little to no grasp of proper English grammar. If there is spell check where I am writing from, I promise to use it! Otherwise get off my back! You know who I'm talking too...
