I'm in New York!

Hello everyone,

So I'm here in New York interning at Religions for Peace-USA which is located on the United Nations Plaza across the street from the actual United Nations. Because I'm overly nervous about putting my address out into the world wide web, I'll just tell you that I'm living on the upper west side in a really nice area. The apartment is nice, one bedroom downstairs and a livingroom/kitchen/office with a bathroom upstairs. I'll put pictures up if anyone wants to see what it looks like.

The internship is going fine so far, I've only been working two days. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, no one is going to make sure you're in by 9 and there until 5, in fact if you work from home every so often that's fine too. Right now my project is to develop a student interfaith organization directory. This means that I need to check out every college/university in the United States and see if it has an interfaith organization on campus. Some of it (like now as I find out how many schools are in each state) is not going to be very exciting, but in the end I think it will be really helpful thing to have. It will also be helpful for me to see what is around at the universities I'm looking at for grad school. -I'll make sure I get those done first :)

Well that's about it for now, I'll try to make sure that this is at least semi-interesting and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
