Summery

I've been too busy reading and writing about labor as a keystone of the civilizing mission, environmental mediation, and NGOs in complex humanitarian emergencies to get around to writing about FUN stuff. And the semester isn't over yet, so I'm stuck with yet another quick update.

Here's the latest news from Down Under:

  • It's summer here and I'm starting to dress more summery--I was just told that today. Skirts and dresses again.
  • I recently discovered the Korean grocery store near my gym sells frozen edamame. This has seriously improved my life immensely.
  • I only have 2 1/2 weeks of my second semester left! And there's still a lot of work to be done. I think my brain capacity is quickly filling up and I still have another semester to go. I'm wondering if I can buy extra memory, like you can on gmail.
  • I'm going to Vietnam for my internship from November 13, 2011 until February 14, 2012! I'll be working with Roots of Peace in Vietnam, an international humanitarian organization dedicated to eradicating landmines worldwide and rehabilitating land and livelihoods through sustainable agriculture. I'm so excited! Xin chào!

That's it for now. G'day mates.
