Horoscope diversion + announcement

As my trusty horoscope says today, I am finding it difficult to sit in my seat!

Leo
By Rick LevineThe social aspects of your day may grow very complicated, pressuring you to contract your energy. However, you have personal business that must be attended to today, even if it's not much fun. Once you push through your own resistance, everything seems to become easier, freeing up enough time for you to do something totally unexpected by your peers. Setting your mind on a particular accomplishment is a wise strategy, but things won't necessarily turn out as planned. Let the element of surprise work in your favor.

I have 2 pending stories on my desk. One is short and sweet but I don't want it to take time away from the other, which is really interesting but increasingly complicated one. And it's even more challenging after getting a phone call this morning from UNITY: Journalists of Color Inc. telling me that I got accepted to their 2011 Global Reporting Fellowship. I'll have the honor to cover the UN High-Level Meeting on AIDS, where the past and future response to the disease will be discussed and mapped out. I'm going to NYC for the first time, for a week, where I'll have the privilege of working with experienced journalists and will have the chance to meet world leaders. I couldn't be more ecstatic!!!!!

But for now, I have to get down to business, finish the tasks at hand, and find the least goofy picture of myself to send off to UNITY for a bio. :)
