Welcome to the 161st!

And the time has come to mentor another A100 class, oh how the days have flown by since those moments of wondering what it would feel like to be a diplomat...It was great to meet the 161st class, with 94 people, it's definitely bigger than what seems like our measly 55-person class. It's great to see another diverse and successful bunch so excited about meeting their new colleagues and starting this new adventure. Per usual, everyone wonders what I did to get London for a 1st tour :)

Meanwhile, rumor is that I have a bid list for my 2nd tour waiting in my State email inbox, I can't believe it! We were all expecting not to get it for another month. It's amazing that I could know before I go to London where we're heading to in the Middle East after that (I have Arabic points). There is a certain charm about knowing where we'll be for the next 4 years.
