Perhaps I should shatter a bottle of champagne over my keyboard to celebrate? Well I have to say I am late to get onto the whole blogging train but I'm sure my tardiness will be outweighed by the immense insight and meaning I will inject into your life. Just you wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually this was inspired by the fact that I'm headed abroad here is less than two weeks and I wanted to make a way for my friends to keep track of me. On July 27th I'll be headed to &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; with my little brother. We'll be bumming around there raising just a little hell in the &lt;st1:place&gt;Old  World&lt;/st1:place&gt; before meeting up with my parents and sister in small town in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;France&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. After spending some time there, I'll be headed back home for a full day and a half before heading of to &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Beijing&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. I'm doing IES Abroad there and will be about for the fall semester. We'll see how it goes. I really don't know what to expect except for dirty streets and the experience of sticking out like a sore thumb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've just made the promise: I'm not eating any dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I'm in &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:state&gt;DC&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; with a program from my college. I would have to say the experience has been great so far. I get to work a quasi-legitimate internship, hang out with my girlfriend a whole lot and actually take a pretty cool class as well. But my whole time here is quickly drawing to a close.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14613071-112174518284876521?l=jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com/feeds/112174518284876521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14613071&amp;postID=112174518284876521' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14613071/posts/default/112174518284876521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14613071/posts/default/112174518284876521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com/2005/07/getting-started.html' title='Getting started'/><author><name>James Birmingham</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14777827872352540647</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/50/6958/320/Lee%20Beauty%20Shot.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14613071.post-112174590745310646</id><published>2005-07-18T21:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-18T21:05:07.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/50/6958/640/Lee%20Beauty%20Shot.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/50/6958/320/Lee%20Beauty%20Shot.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me in NYC&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://picasa.google.com/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14613071-112174590745310646?l=jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com/feeds/112174590745310646/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14613071&amp;postID=112174590745310646' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14613071/posts/default/112174590745310646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14613071/posts/default/112174590745310646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jamesbirmingham.blogspot.com/2005/07/me-in-nyc.html' title=''/><author><name>James Birmingham</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14777827872352540647</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/50/6958/320/Lee%20Beauty%20Shot.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
