Can we get back on this? I need to know what's going on with all of you. Some of you I have not heard from in WAY TOO LONG. And we aren't all as good as James Knight at keeping in touch.
Before I give a brief update, quick question. Who will be around for Homecoming? I've decided to mosey back to Columbus for the festivities and I would love to see you!
Update on me... Well, I'm still in Boston. I imagine I'll be here for about one more year. So if anyone wants to visit the most historical city in our nation, please come by. You know you have a place to stay. And lucky you, I pay a small fortune to live pretty close in the city so come and take advantage of that.
I'm working at Harvard School of Public Health planning fundraising events. I get to hang out with millionaires and billionaires on the regular. I had an event with the owner of the Celtics on Friday. Glamorous? Maybe. But let me tell you what though... it is BORING. Harvard follows a formula and something as simple as suggesting music, even if it's classical, is something that really really has to be thought over and will probably be rejected. It's all fancy dinners and/or talks by professors. So I'm learning a lot, meeting cool people, and getting a taste of a world I never would otherwise... but it's not for me for too long. I'm itching for a little more R&D in my life. ;)
I'm still with Zak, for those of you who have met him. He's rockin' it out at Berklee. Most importantly, we're going to three Hanson concerts next weekend and I'm really hoping we can figure out a way to use his musician connections to hang out with Hanson sometime in the course of those shows.
And lastly, I went to Africa last summer and hung out with Trevor. Remember Trevor, my old roommate? He's in Namibia for Peace Corps and I went to do some volunteer work with him and travel. My work let me take an unpaid leave since I was doing public health volunteering, which is what my work raises money for. It was absolutely incredible. So different being there from all the pictures you see and stories you hear. I'm sure LaGay can fill us in more on that! ;) But some highlights include petting cheetahs and lion cubs, getting charged by a rhino, being taught dances by some teenagers, climbing up/rolling down the world's tallest sand dune, and hitchhiking everywhere.
I truly miss you all and I really hope you will follow along and keep this blog alive!
ITS(I miss this too)S,
Katie
