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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I hope everyone is well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well, as usual the last week of October seemed to drag on by but it is not over.
