I’ve ceased to be able to tell the difference between SNL’s Tina Fey and Palin – not helped by the fact that Fey often seems to be just quoting Palin.
After a long summer of waiting (the weather made it feel more like a long winter), I’ve got a start date — September 29th. That’s when I’ll be starting a week of training in Boston, going to the Partners in Health symposium, and meeting the team there. The following week I’ll be flying to Kigali… [...]

So after much waiting and wondering, I’ve been told I have job with Partners in Health in Rwanda. I’m going to be mentoring students in computer programming, so that they can then work on an electronic medical records system for the country. It’s exciting and a bit scary. They haven’t figured out the details yet, [...]
Tomorrow morning I fly off the US for 2½ weeks. I’ll be visiting friends in Chicago, St. Louis and Washington DC. I’m very excited to see my friends again, and excited to be in the states again (where I haven’t been since my life changing year in San Diego).
