Happy New Year! The Internet has been acting a little odd with the blog website, and I've been occupied with the JDC Short-Term Service Program in Ethiopia with Federation CJA. More to come about the trip soon!
11 Firsts in 2011
- First time I tried bibimbap, Utica half-moon cookies (note: these are different than New York black and white cookies), and Scotch eggs
- First time I saw Mad Men and the ballet at Lincoln Center
- First time I picked up Hemingway since high school and then devoured The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls
- First Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network Interviews
- First travels to Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Turkey
- First high school reunion
- First time I learned about the Traveling Wilburys, ikat, and eyelash extensions
- First trip to the African continent
- First place I've lived other than the great state of New York (barring my study abroad stint in Buenos Aires)
- First time I am a minority
- First blog
What does 2012 have in store? I'm looking forward to finishing my fellowship in Ethiopia, working on my Amharic, absorbing as much vitamin D as possible before returning to the Northern Hemisphere, seeing more of Ethiopia and the surrounding countries, and coming home to start law school. Hopefully there are many more firsts to come in the new year!
