Hysterical video of my new "hood"

When I move to DC I'll be staying in Arlington, VA. One of my classmates posted this video-too funny! At least I know there's a Starbucks ;-)

On the road to DC...

I received my official offer and invite to the Foreign Service Institute for March 2010-oh and yes I accepted! I will be heading to DC in March, attending the A-100 training class for new officers, and then further training in my area of expertise and language studies, depending upon which Embassy I will be sent to for my first assignment. I still have many details to figure out and too many unknowns I must accept, but I feel like a monkey, a very fat monkey, is off my back now that I know I am definately going and when. Now on to organizing my "stuff"-thank god for the label maker...

New Year's Resolution

O.k. I am normally not a huge New Year's resolution kind of chick, but I seriously need one for the first quarter of 2010. Here it is...I resolve that I will not check my rank status every 30 minutes to see what action could have possibly taken place since the last time I checked 30 minutes ago. I am starting to work my own nerves-  Happy New Year everyone!
