Ok, I realize we're already two weeks into the new year and I have yet to truly address most of my resolutions - run more, blog more, write in my journal more, and basically take time away from my computer screen to keep myself healthy. After all, how good am I at public health if I forget to keep up habits that contribute to my well-being?!
So...I'll try to do a better job of updating my Seattle Chronicles - if for no other reason than at the end of 2 years (well, 1.5 at this point, I guess) I'll have some record of what the hell I've been doing out here. In the spirit of starting fresh, here is a game that will help the non-public health people in my life understand what I might do with an MPH. This game is especially pertinent considering the latest "Block" of our program - epidemiology and biostatistics.

In other news, I started my practicum position today. For the rest of the school year, I will be interning with the HIV/AIDS Education team in the Seattle/King County Department of Health. Everyone there seems really nice and it's good to be back in the HIV/AIDS world. It's an issue that I remain passionate about, even though it's been a few years since I've worked at FIGHT. I'll be creating education materials - right now the priority is to create a fact sheet for case managers and other frontline workers explaining the risks of transmitting HIV if you have an undetectable viral load. For those of you who may not understand what that means, I'll post my InfoGram when I'm done.
Tonight, I need to work on my latest assignment - explaining what Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYS) are. And since it's almost 10pm and I have to work tomorrow AND this is due at 6pm...I'd better stop procrastinating and hop to it.
