here i am

this is such a fantastic idea. thanks tony!

i can't wait to see everyone at the wedding and visit. mom an at home spa day sounds wonderful. i'll bring some goodies. ok - here's my update

1. about to complete my first year in grad school. YEAH!! for those of you who don't know i am pursuing my master's in women's and gender studies at university of north carolina - greensboro. i recently presented a paper of mine at a conference and won an award for most creative. next year i will begin working on my culminating project - paperbag productions. the goal is to create an all female performance group that will raise awareness of social issues through multi-media stage productions. if all goes well this project will blossom into a "career" or hopefully the development of a non-profit that will serve girls.

2. i work as a DJ at the campus radio station. you can listen online at www.wuag.net. my show is on tuesdays from 7-9pm. i recently applied for two positions on the executive board, sports and news director. i will only get one (if any) and if i become the sports director i will be the first woman EVER to hold the position.

3. i am just beginning to freelance with the local newpaper's arts and entertainment magazine. hopefully i will have some published articles to share when we see each other in may.

those are the biggies. i love living in greensboro. it is a beautiful community, lots of trees and flowers and not too much suburbia. reminds me of princeton. i have made lots of connections with people who share similar interests and i work as a graduate assistant in the women's and gender studies department which has allowed me to implement original programs on campus. i am looking forward to the summer - working with a local non-profit called Girls Inc. and traveling as much as i can afford to. i have been dating here and there, nothing too serious.

well - i love you guys and can't wait to hear from you.

xoxo
