finally i'm back!

well, i am finally back here typing my thoughts after a long break. i wonldn't necessarily call it a break because i have been busy doing other things, the main thing has been getting a job after i graduated from college. for those that don't know, i'll fill you in on the details:

i am working for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as a National Security Policy Analyst working mainly arms control issues. my office located a few blocks southeast of the Pentagon, if you want to look it up on the map. i am living in Alexandria, and even in Friday rush hour traffic, it only takes me 20 mins to commute; it is really nice.

things are going well, i am learning a whole lot about arms control and other stuff and just enjoying being able to read and put thoughts together and already i see how my 6 weeks here have contributed to my understanding of political science and public policy and how already i can teach this stuff better. that is really exciting. i also have "the coolest stories" to quote a friend and it seems that i do, because last week i went to the Pentagon and got to meet everyone that i am going to be working with.

that is a quick update on what is going on with me. later!
