Very quick update, yes I am in New Orleans, I arrived yesterday. The place is amazing and my flatmates seem to be awesome, although we shall see how we all feel in four months. We have a 4th, Nate, along with Chad, Val and myself. I'm still processing everything and won't even see my placement site until the 31st and won't start work until the 4th of September. In between we have orientations here in NOLA and at Stony Point in New York. I have posted my mailing address, so if you want to send letters, care packages, howlers ect... please send them to the Zimpler Street address, if you are donating to my fund please continue to send them to the Filmore address c/o Layne Brubaker. Hopefully I will have really awesome pics taken and uploaded for you guys soon. I also plan on using a journal to record my impressions of people and places when I am away from the computer so I can accurately share these experiences with you. Until then I will continue to stew, do paperwork and get to know my flatmates. Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts, prayers and support, you have no idea how much it means to me.
Pax,
Elizabeth
