My first post, just giving this a try. A fully self-centered venture it is, this blogging crap, and I gotta admit that I just really like seeing my own thoughts on the screen. But I also like knowing that there’s folks that I love out there that know what I’m up to.
I’ll be headed to work for an office of the UN in the Dominican Republic this summer, INSTRAW (Institute for Training and Research for the Advancement of Women, www.un-instraw.org). Anyone headed to Santo Domingo any time soon? Pretty exciting, I’ve been assigned to work with a policy analyst that is studying Gender, Peace and Security, I’m so pumped!
Before the DR, I’ll be in Omaha-ha for the first week in June, and then maybe I’ll make it up later to the Rierden family gathering up in Canadia, as well…? Hopefully.
I’ve had an amazing first year at Cornell, I’ve never loved studying and felt like such a nerd in my whole life…

And some of my coolest Cornell friends and I chillin on a Thursday night:
