It's so nice to be really, really excited about a job again. I've been settling into my new team over the past week or so, and I'm really enjoying having a new project to get to work on and start generating ideas around. It's quite a busy schedule and so far I've been to 3 different states; 2 for work, one for play - was at the beach in Florida this weekend! There's so much going on and so many new people to meet, have gone from meeting students to other NGOs to professors, and everyone else in between! Yesterday I went to a birthday lunch with some Southern belles who support Global L.E.A.D, and who thoroughly inducted me into Southern culture! My host family have been amazingly welcoming, and I feel settled in here already, which is really nice.
I'm still getting used to how much space there is, and how much driving there is - I have been to more varieties of drive through in the last week than I ever imagined existed. Naively I assumed driving through was limited to fast food, but you can do drive through banking and oil changes here, as well as food, ice cream, conveniences, and coffee.
I've even heard it whispered that one can get drive-through daiquiris in Louisiana. Naturally I'll be working tirelessly to either confirm or deny these rumours at the earliest possible opportunity - watch this space!
