Intro

Hello all! :) Welcome to my blog (I've resisted them for so long, but the time has finally come for me to have one of these things). I intend to use this primarily to recount any and all adventures in Chuuk, FSM and beyond over the next year or two (depending on how much time they can squeeze out of me), but I'll probably make some room to talk about other thoughts, issues, etc. so hopefully you can bear with me!! Ideally, after my stint is up out there in Oceania, I'll be heading to other, equally interesting places that I can also discuss and potentially bore you with ;)

I am still in upstate NY for another 24 hours, so for right now I'm really just setting this up and hoping to build some anticipation! Additionally, many people have asked how to best reach me, so I'll list some helpful contact info below:

Email: lydiaocnnr@gmail.com (preferred), lydia.o@nyu.edu
Skype: lydia.r.oconnor
Address: Lydia O'Connor
Xavier High School
P.O. Box 220
Chuuk, FM 96942
Micronesia

I will also have a cellphone when I get there, courtesy of my uncle, but calls are pretty expensive so I don't expect that will be a prime vein of communication. I'm sure I'll be checking facebook pretty regularly as well.

That's about all for now! Check back soon for fun updates :)
