Like the new template? Decided to switch it up. No longer Budapest's famous Chain Bridge but now a collection of city images. I recognize Seattle's Space Needle, but don't know any of the others. I also figured the brighter colors was more summery. And we need to celebrate summer even though most of mine will apparently be spent inside.
Buuuuuut I am going to DC this weekend to rendezvous with Ryan and Kevin from my NYLF experience. Looks like Brigid, my roommate from Prague, will be there, too; I hope I get to see her also! I'm really looking forward to this trip, haven't seen those two or the lovely city of Washington, D.C. in 4 years! That's such a long time, roughly 20% of my life.
I fly out of Bham at 7pm tomorrow. Counting down the hours now (30.5 if you must know).

A whole year!
Just saw my last post was from EXACTLY a year ago. Crazy. Let's hope I can be more reliable this summer. No promises, though.
Also, side note. I'm sad that this time a year ago I was getting back from a semester in Prague. I have to go back. Sooner rather than later, please.

Summer Cheryl
I just realized, via Google Labs, that I have not updated in a very long time. While I'm not in Prague or galivanting around Europe anymore, maybe you're still interested in what I'm doing. Or maybe not. Maybe I just felt like doing something to distract me from work.
Wondering what I'm doing this summer? Brief overview, I am working on staff for the MIS (Management Information Systems) Department doing whatever they can throw at me while also being a Program Coordinator for North Alabama for the LEARN (Launching Entrepreneurs Across Rural Networks) Program which entails going to North Alabama for open Houses to explain what our program does (help dislocated workers and veterans who want to start their own business get business training and counseling), calling participants and service providers, placing newspaper ads, setting up training courses, and etc. I've been doing this since January but am continuing it as an internship over the summer. I was also assigned (for the summer, and maybe continuing in the fall) the Lead for The University of Alabama MIS Capital Campaign to raise money to keep the MIS Program running smoothly and effectively since in recent years we are seeing a boom in the number of students entering the program; this entails contacting alumni and forum members (CEOs), organizing alumni events (parties for getting donations), attending round tables, sending gifts, and etc. Sounds like a party, right?
Now maybe you understand why sometimes you just need a five minute break. Which is all this was...
I'll try to keep this updated a little more over the summer since I'll be going to some fun places for work and school and fun: Cincinatti (work and school), Atlanta (work, fun), Washington, D.C. (fun), Birmingham (work), and maybe more. Possibly with pictures, I know you're excited.
Until I have something more to report (or need another break), hasta luego!
