hi guys! here's the latest...
after fighting some serious jetlag i've fallen right back into a routine here, and it feels very like a very nice routine this time, that some of the daily kinks have been worked out. school is great. the first semester ends this week, and with that ends my time in the middle school. now i move to the high school to work in the spanish department. i'm looking forward to that experience - i get to work with another great teacher. it might be much-needed practice, since it looks like there is some demand for spanish teachers in the charlottesville-area than for social studies teachers.
dhaka is a little bit easier to take in so far, this time around. there is much less shock factor about the way things are, in this second look at the place. it helps that the weather is quite beautiful now. except for vicious mosquitos (who like to bite my face the best), it feels a lot like balmy florida mornings all the time now.... we'll enjoy this for a few more weeks before temperatures go up up up. the flowers that are blooming now - oh my goodness, so pretty
i'm enjoying friends here, who are becoming better friends as time goes on - and i wish i could share them with Dave, and i wish they could join us for the wedding. there are many people in this school community that i like a whole, whole lot. adventurous, active, and caring folks. neat young families that have fun together
because i feel like i should post a picture or two, and i haven't gotten out to shoot any yet, i'm going to share the color versions of a few of the Eid photos that i showed before in black and white. pretty wild eh?
