Happy New Year!

Has it really been a year since I last posted? 2010 went by so quickly! It's like they say, time flies when you're having fun. (And I think it just gets progressively faster as I get older. Soon I'll be running to catch up.)

My 2010 was pretty much Part 1: one semester of graduate education courses at Lehigh University and Part 2: six month internship in the Department of Public Information at the United Nations, with some shenanigans mixed up in between.

As per my a-photo-is-worth-a-thousand-words trend, here's the year in photos:

Now that we've rung in 2011, I'm starting my own countdown for Thailand! T-5 days before I hang up my winter coat and jet to Southeast Asia for 27 months with U.S. Peace Corps.
