Well, thanks to my good friend Linda, here I am. I’m going to give this blogging thing a try! I’m new at it - so I'm not sure how it's going to go. Linda set it up so that I can get comments from people, so please help me write by asking questions and making comments! I'm excited about keeping track of my experiences over the next several months and am hoping that some of you enjoy reading about them. This will be a great way for me to keep in touch, because I'm kind of a slacker when it comes to that! I figure that before I leave for Mexico (in 15 DAYS!) I'll spend a little time explaining why I’m going, where I’m going, who I’ll be working with, what I’ll be doing, and all of that good stuff. Thanks again to Linder for getting this started and to my other co-intern bff, Lahumphr, for offering her creative input.
