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.

Good Morning

It has been a while so here is what I'm up to. Classes are still going and they continue to get more difficult. The first time serving dinner at the Simpson Men's Shelter this fall went wonderfully, however, there were only 3 of us serving. This Wednesday is the second time we're going over there and we will have possibly as many as 15 of us. One of the Freshman classes is going as a class trip, myself and a few of the MPIRG members who are a part of the homelessness and affordable housing task force with me are going as well. I have decided to plan a 3 or 4 day homelessness emersion either during J-term or right between the two terms. I'm thinking probably during J-term. I think it will really be an eye opening experience and one I will take with me for a very long time. I have begun to debate what activities I will do for the summer. I would like to travel because I love traveling, but I probably should do some significant research so I can put together a senior honors thesis and it looks better for med school.
