Well, as usual the last week of October seemed to drag on by but it is not over. November is off to a good start and I even see a little more snow on top of the mountains. Snow is a good sign, it was here when I got here so I know it has to be here for me to leave as well.
I start a new college class tomorrow, introduction to computer programming. Doesn’t that sound riveting? I hope I will enjoy it, I need something to help pass the time. I will also have another class start on the 1st of December, I figure I may as well use my time away to get what I can out of the way.
I am getting ready to pack up the rest of whatever I do not plan on carrying home with me. Once that is done, the room will really start to look empty, a lot like it did when I first got here. I believe there were some pictures early on of my room, I will have to see if I can hunt them down and link them to here.
I still don’t have an exact date when we will leave but I am sure I will be spending New Years here but not much else. Even when we get a date, those are all subject to change since the weather in Manas may not cooperate. If you are wondering where Manas is, so am I. I believe it is in Kyrgystan or one of the Stans, but I do know that it is cold there and they get some very wintery weather.
Other than that, we are just spending time getting ready to go. Apparently, a lot of planning goes into moving all thee people from one side of the planet to the other.
I hope everyone is well.
Hi Dave,
Did you fly out of Manas when you came home on R&R? What programming language(s) will you be learning? Will be looking up a map –
Tent sleeping does not sound too comfortable – you would think there could be some double bunking as a transition solution – but maybe that is not preferable.
love ya
