Yes---it was finally time to update this blog, meaning using a picture other than the default background. In looking for a Chengdu cityscape, I stumbled across this one. While not what I originally had in mind, I think this picture carries a lot of meaning. The bridge reflects a role I hope to fulfill during my service trip abroad, being a bridge between two cultures. I can't wait to experience living in Chengdu--it was a very real moment for me when I realized I would be there for 67 days, the longest since the first few years I spent in China as child. My trips to China with my family were 2-3 weeks at most; Now I'm going on my own and for three times the length! I look forward to also sharing the culture I come from, especially given the wealth of culture the great state of Texas has to offer. Of course, I'm very excited about getting work with CURA throughout the summer and understand the general state of water conservation, water quality, and environmental conservation in general is in China.
We also just got our set of envelopes earlier this week--stay tuned as I open them during my trip!
