And the Training Begins!

I have officially been a diplomat now for three days.  Although orientation has been interesting, and at times even fun, I am glad to be done with that phase of my life.  Today I began the new phase of my life: training.
This week I have a security-oriented training.  It was really interesting, and I think the information will be helpful . . . as long as I don't become paranoid as a result! Just kidding, it's not going to make me paranoid.  In fact, I would hope that having this training would make me less paranoid because I would be better prepared to ensure my own safety and well-being overseas.
So here is what I learned: #1 Never run in a straight line, always zig zag #2 Everyone is watching you - Or is that the paranoia talking?  And my homework is to watch Burn Notice.  Just kidding.  But seriously, the information was very interesting (and if you didn't realize, both of the above things that I said I learned were jokes.  Sometimes people don't get my humor . . . :).  I'm looking forward to the rest of this training class.  I just hope that I will still remember everything I learn by the time I actually leave for post!
