D-Day + 2

I'm watching George W. talk about Haiti right now in the Rose Garden as he and President Clinton will be teaming up for those commercials that we saw for the tsunami a few years back. This Haiti situation is so saddening, I did that $10 dollar text donation thingy, but it's so hard giving financial aid now a days: it's either delayed, or not going to the actually tragedy, etc. I rather go down there my self and help as that is what I feel a future career holds for me, but I know unfortunately I'll get other opportunities.

Anyway, I worked for half a day on Friday as I have a Friday morning class from 10-12. Yesterday, I had written up an e-mail invitation for the "Expert Advisory Group" who gave input for our Assessment. The invite is for our Jan 26th roll out of this Assessment which is being presented by Senators Graham of SC and Shaheen of NH. The more I learn about it the more important it appears to be (I'll discuss that in more detail later). Anyway, this e-mail that I wrote up for our "Experts" was actually sent to them with only minor, technical changes. I thought that was cool. I started writing up another for Ambassadors who assisted on the project and we'll see if Ryan (Project Leader) likes that one as well.

The rest of the day was just doing some minor things: printing letters, label making, mail stuff, etc. However at the end of the day the Center found out that the current commander of US Central Command, General David Petraeus, will be coming in next Friday to give his input on this Assessment. EXTREME!!! Ryan, who brought him in, said this was the biggest figure to come into the Center and he'll be given the report and will give his advice on it, I assume. This Assessment must really have some credibility to it if the commander of CENTCOM is coming in to review it. So I'll be looking forward to seeing or even maybe attending the meeting with Petraeus.

Sometime I'll create a more "official" sounding weekly log for my internship class and put it up here. So yeah...
