September 7, 2015 | Please ignore the gap between weeks nine and ten! With moving back to Albuquerque, then back to Mount Vernon, these last few weeks were a bit hectic and I have not had the opportunity to wrap this up! My apologies. So, last week at Children’s! It was certainly bittersweet going into this last week. I […]

September 7, 2015 | Health: Good! I am a little hungry, but that might be because it’s almost lunch time. Homestay: Great! I am glad to be back with the family again! I got back in time to help Katty at the county fair, but for the most part, she didn’t really need my help by the time I […]

September 7, 2015 | We are almost ready to head out on the retreat! Today is Tuesday, July 28th, and we leave for Ometepe in 3 days! The only real task I have left to complete before the retreat involves talking with my supervisor about the budget that I have drawn up for the outing, and collecting the funds […]

September 7, 2015 | Health: I am feeling okay, I have had a few problems every once and a while, but I have started taking antibiotics to get rid of any parasites, and it appears to be working. The bites from the bed bugs I talked about last week are still around, and are driving me crazy though! I […]

September 7, 2015 | Health: My health is surprisingly much better. Whatever nasty bugs were in my digestive tract have not given me any real trouble for quite a while! However, I appear to have swapped out my parasite problem, for a bed bug problem, as I will explain below. Homestay: I haven’t really spent much time with my […]

The third week of my internship has proven even more eventful than the last, and included everything from an amazing 13-14 hour work day, to a visit to the old cathedral in the city of Granada, to a solitary 6 hour boat ride across […]

September 7, 2015 | Hello again! The second week of my work with Casa Verde has been full of activities. Due in part to the young age, and large number of the members in the Sunny Side service learning team, I am pretty much kept busy helping to manage them, and ensure that none of them are putting themselves […]

September 7, 2015 | Due to various complications with internet, electricity, etc. I am sending in all of these posts after I have returned from my fellowship. However, all of these files have been written during the allocated week. I’m finally back in Limón! Even after spending so many months away, I have quickly settled into the rhythm of […]

September 1, 2015 | Leaving Christensen & Ehret LLP I am confident that I want to become an attorney. The experience that Mark Christensen has provided me with is one that I believe will go unparalleled and I am extremely blessed to have had this opportunity to work with an individual that cares not only about my academic success, but […]

August 21, 2015 | The unthinkable has happened, I am done with data entry! After a few hundred hours in front of a computer, all of our data entry and clean-up lists are done! After checking some outliers (mostly results of me hitting a 6 instead of a 9 or something like that) we were able to generate preliminary […]
