Welcome to my politically incorrect blog!

Hey populace,

So, here's how it works: if you want to ask me for the gruesome details of my life, you can do so privately via my amaaaazing e-mail address, hotrevolution@gmail.com. Or, Akinyi_Shapiro@brown.edu. Either one goes to the same place, and I will answer.

Otherwise, I'm doing big things this next 11 months, and will NOT be at Brown University.

Schedule:
June 21-August 15: Kenya, with my family (and yes, I've done it several times before)
August 15-August 31: FREE
August 31-December 29: In Salvador/other places, Brazil (my first semester program, on "Public Health and Community Welfare", with my independent study on teen pregnancy and supporting systems, and their intersection with HIV/AIDS in Salvador, Brazil)
December 29-January 14: FREE
January 14-May 7: In DC, Vietnam, South Africa and Sao Paulo, Brazil, in my Global Health program

EXPANDED ITINERARY:
Washington DC: January 14-January 27
South Africa: January 28-February 25
Vacation: February 26-March 4
Vietnam: March 5-April 4
Brazil: April 5-May 6

May 7: Back in the US or Kenya for awhile and hopefully employed wherever I go. TELL ME ABOUT INTERNSHIPS IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM FOR ME! I'd love to stay with family in California or North Carolina and internship, or stay in Providence and internship, or somewhere random in the world. Kenya would be great. Just something stable, por favor.


This loving blog will be how I relate my thoughts, wishes, and love-sendings to all YOU lovely folks, hand-selected to see them uncensored and free-flowing.


I may not write too often in Kenya, because that'd be kind of like writing from your own home, and that's awkward and self-indulgent.


Spectacularly,
Akinyi
