Just a short note I suppose as long as I have a free second. I'm trying to keep my photos updated since those are really the most interesting so keep checking in at http://picasaweb.google.com/smuhlba
Other than that, things are just trucking along slowly. It's hard to believe I already have one year down. I'm trying to get more involved in the community and find new projects. I'm also starting to get more involved with my new host family. It's been going well so far.
Most importantly I'm trying to do some sort of planning for post Peace Corps. I've started studying for the GMAT (and bombing all the diagnostic quizes) and at least thinking about what I will do at home. It's been an interesting shift in thoughts. I still think about and miss home all the time. Little things always trigger it too. I was thinking today about sandwiches, which led me to think of pickles, which led me to think of yellow bell peppers, which led me to think of a good friend back home and making supper at his house with him for he and his kid and how he'd put those dang peppers on everything (even pizza). The good thing is- now it makes me smile, where as before I felt sad and just missed it. I still miss it but can smile about it.
Maybe its just been a good week though.
I try to keep on smiling!
