I have decided to stay out of the USA until November 9th. I will either teach here an extra month or travel a bit while waiting to come home. more on that later.
I'm showing some pictures of a rug that I am having made, it's from a picture of a tile floor I always liked in Texas. now its becoming a rug hand made out somewhere in Afghanistan. my student who designs rugs was at his village last weekend and took some pictures. I'll post some pictures of his village later. I have some blog posts that I have yet to write. one called "frustration" about what everyone goes through here working in afghanistan and the culture clashes. And the other is "apathy" about the presidential election.
I'm having tons of fun getting to know my friends dowstairs and we are always eating meals together or at the gym, so that's been nice. I am also looking forward to a week off in August and then I'll be packing up a lot of stuff and sending home soon...... tick tock tick tock... less than 3 months and counting........
