Turkmenistan

Currently, this blog will be used for my thoughts, pictures, and excerpts from letters I send home from Turkmenistan. I will be in Turkmenistan from October 1, 2008 until December of 2010. You can send me letters and packages using the address to the right.
Many thanks to my family for posting updates to this blog as I will most likely have limited internet access over the next few years.

Another day

Well it has been a while since I've posted anything and so I am putting up a post. There isn't much to report from the cities. I am keeping busy and looking forward to the long weekend very much. We don't have classes on Friday and I don't have classes on Thursdsays so I have a 4 day weekend which I will be spending with my grandparents, parents, sister, aunts and uncles, and cousins. It should be a good weekend. Last night I had a chance to see La Boheme performed by U of M students. It was a good performance and it was my first opera experience. It was good, but not the best thing I've ever seen. There were mixed views among the people I went with. I am astonished to think that the school year is winding down already. We have just over a month left. I have an exam in each of my classes and a paper to write in one and a presentation to prepare for another, and then I'm home free. I still haven't determined precicely what I will be doing for a job this summer. I was supposed to find out from the Medical College of Wisconsin last week if I got a place and so if they don't let me know by Wednesday I will be contacting them and if I don't get it will hope that Essential Industries will still want me back for another summer. I hope to make a few trips this summer for fun - ideally one to the cities to spend a weekend with people up here and then my trip to Europe which is still not a for sure. If I end up going it would be 10 days in Germany and Amsterdam for $500! I can't think of much else to report. So for now I'll sign off. Have a wonderful day!
