Good News!

I now, finally, have an answer to that ever-popular graduation-season question, 'So, what are you doing next year?'. The answer is working for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a Global Health Fellow. Starting this fall I will be based in Kigali, Rwanda, and will serve as a program manager on health system strengthening projects and PEPFAR (HIV/AIDS) interventions. The fellowship is for one year, with the possibility of staying on for another. I'm really really excited about this opportunity and am psyched to be heading back to sub-Saharan Africa. And you are all welcome to visit me!

This job is great news for me, but also for you, as a reader of this blog, because it means that instead of spending 8 hours a day stressing out about what I'm going to do with my life (and scouring the Internet for jobs), I'll be able to write more and spend more time getting myself into amusing (to you) misadventures. So I promise to post more entries (at least until I get wrapped up in Wimbledon) and let you know what's going on in crazy Dhaka.
