Bound for the South

Today's destination is Raleigh, North Carolina. Poolside lounging, a glass of wine and great company from friends seen far too sparsely.

Tuesday morning it is off to "Hotlanta" for a ten week internship with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The day-to-day work that I'll be doing is still vague, but it's better that way. The project is related to environmental health and my specific project deals with programmatic change. "Efficiency, environment, various stakeholders, consensus agreements" - these are all words that were presented in the initial description.

For now the road-trip thoughts will be filled with fanciful depictions of the weeks to come. Invigorating, unknown, thrilling, anxious. I'm excited to unveil the next stretch of roadway, for it may be riddled with rough patches, a long straightaway, intense curves or an uphill battle; I hope it is a combination of all, for without challenges how can we expect to know what can be accomplished?
