smoky mountain

being in atlanta the past few weeks has been good. got to relax a bit and get some stuff done. main thing to report is that i'm applying for jobs...my fellowship is over in september, but some of the cdc positions take about 9 months to fill, so some deadlines for overseas positions have just passed. yeah...we'll see what happens. i wasn't too sure if i wanted to blog about it just because, you know, what if i don't get anything, but 1) i don't know how many people are actually keeping up with this blog, and 2) if that happens, i'll just head to la for a little bit and hang out (like I like to say, we have the rest of our lives to work, right?). anyways, hopefully something will work out...i've been thinking through a few options on and off since march, but i'm still not sure...I trust that the right opportunity will open up.

other than that, things at the office have been really fun. i really like work, and my co-workers are great...one of the best things about this fellowship is that i've been able to meet some great people and make some good friends...both abroad and here in atlanta.

i finally got a chance to go hiking this past weekend...went to the great smoky mountains national park in north carolina:







so next month, i'm off again. heading back to kenya, and south africa...now that i've had a chance to rest up a bit, i'm ready to head out again.
