The Primer

So there I was.  I graduated in December with a masters degree from Georgia Tech, and now it was time to find a job.  Except I didn't find a job.  I mostly caught up on movies, video games and books for a while.  Frankly, I wasn't all that excited about joining the real world.  Then I read about WorldTeach, a nonprofit organization that facilitates volunteer teaching positions in developing countries.  The program I read about was in the Marshall Islands.  I went to the WorldTeach website, read about the various programs, and found out that while I had missed some program deadlines (sorry Micronesia), the Guyana program application deadline was only a few weeks away.  Upon reading about the program, I became really excited about the prospect of volunteering in Guyana.  Some information about the country and the program can be found below the break.

Welcome to Guyana

And when I say Guyana, I mean Maryland.

I'm leaving for Guyana in mid-August.  In the meantime I'm going to be tweaking the blog layout and posting some more info about the program, Guyana and where the two meet.

I've also got a few regular features I plan to implement, but we'll see how that goes.
