My resume

My online resume is at http://www.unc.edu/~ermatthe/, if you know of anyone to show it to, that would be great! I'm looking for a full-time position, either teaching, working with companies who have offices in Latin America, or doing non-profit work. Thanks for spreading the word!

My first 'blog' - Pilgrimage to the Basilica in DC

Hi, welcome to my 'blog'. Kate just started a blog, so I figured why not?
I got back last night at about 1:45am from a day-long pilgrimage to DC to visit the Basilica with the Raleigh Diocese. I traveled with the Newman Student Group from UNC. There were 11 of us (from UNC) and about 30 other students from all over: Duke, State, UNC-W, Elon. As I have been going to N.C. State for mass since it is closer than UNC, I saw the State students there, and my Alias was ruined - they finally know I'm a UNC, not State student.
We drove up to Henderson, NC on the VA border Fri. night and slept in a church there. We played a marathon game of apples-to-apples. We slept in the dark sanctuary ... kind of spooky. We got to DC at about 10am the next morning and made it just in time for the rosary, which the students led. Then we had a day focused on Mary, mass, benediction. It ended at 5:00 and then our bus driver took us to the city, near the Smithsonian. We walked all the way to Dupont Circle, a 45 minute walk at least. We had dinner at a nice restaurant, The Front Page, and I got french onion soup (my addiction). Then back to the bus to come home. The walk was beautiful, a perfect night for walking, we even got some running in. Here are my pictures, everything was really beautiful, it was hard to take a bad picture (although you can see I did managed a few time). Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Maybe I won't post again till after school ends, I should be doing other work as we speak (or I write). I have 4 papers and a project, and then I'm done! forever!!!! or for a while :) Only 2 weeks till classes end.
