I'm off to Africa

By August 31st, I will have officially graduated from BYU. Ok maybe not since I won't have the degree yet, but I'm completing the classes on campus by then and moving on to finish two internships. Then I will. I will go to Africa for one, and then return to the Washington State Department of Health for the second.

What's in Africa? Forty 14-15 year olds in Manow, Tanzania. Hey wait, let's back track.

Hi, my name is Emily, I was born and raised in Olympia, WA from a hearty 13# 12 oz. spry baby (yes it's true) to a 6'2" girl. I'm graduating from BYU in Provo with an Environmental Public Health degree with a double major in German Literature. I'm fickle but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love old people, listening to people, sports of all types and standing on my head as of late.

Ironically having a blog, I have to say I hate writing. People have asked me if I would have a blog highlighting my experience to Africa. I hesitate at first. This is a disclaimer, I have no clue what I'm doing in this intergalactic blog world. My best advice is, if you really want to know, go to Africa. Then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Ok that's my first post. More later
