Introductions (1:15pm)

Well, I went in to the embassy this morning with my dad to meet the people I'll be working with and get started on my security clearance stuff. He showed me around, and introduced me to a good half dozen people. I'm overwhelmed, really. I know I'll never be able to keep it all straight, come Monday. I also will have trouble being up early enough to catch the shuttle at 7:00am , as well as figuring out when it will pick me upo to take me home in the afternoon-- the time varies for security reasons.

Well, hopefully I'll get used to the whole schedule, and get my bearings in the embassy eventually.
