Welcome!

Hey there everybody~

As this is my first foray into the world of blogging, please accept my apologies for the mistakes I am bound to make!

As most of you know, I will be living in Indonesia next year as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. Since I am still unsure about what kind of Internet connection I will have, I thought a blog would be the easiest way to keep everyone up to date on my shenanigans abroad....

To update everyone on what's happening right now, I just got my ticket from AMINEF (organization that handles all of our paperwork/itinerary/orientation/etc.) via e-mail and I will be leaving on July 31! I got from Pgh --> Chicago --> Hong Kong --> Singapore --> Jakarta. My orientation is in Jakarta where we brush up on our Indonesia (God help me), meet the other ETAs, and go over all of the information we will need to know.

Now I am off to DC to get my Indonesian visa (hoping there are no problems) and celebrate with Nitya and Mark!

Don't go! Indonesia will never need you as much as I do!

Hey Hey Hey,

Only a week left.... How does it feel? You are going to be living somewhere other than the US for the first. How's that feel? Have you had to get shots and what not yet? Are you taking your camera to post pics, because that would be awesome!

Ya, the time between graduation and leaving for Indonesia seemed a lot longer in May than it does in July. Got all the shots (ow!) and I recently bought a camera (finally) so I will be posting pictures to the blog.
