So I thought I'd write another quick update. It's winter now. It came much earlier than last year. We had snow on tuesday and wednesday. It got really cold really fast. It's pretty muddy around the village which makes walking to school a pain. The cold and mud and crappy winter-ness gets to me and then I see the mountains and it reminds me how freaking beautiful it is here even in the worst weather. I forgot what they looked like when they're snow covered and it's quite a sight.
School is still going well which is nice. My counterpart offered to teach me Russian and some Kyrgyz every week which I will probably start doing. I think it will be a really good thing for us to do in terms of bettering our friendship and work relationship.
The days are going pretty fast here. Hard to believe I'll be back home in less than 2 months. I know November will be over before I know it. I'm not sure yet whether this winter will be harder than last winter or even if it will be physically wprse or not, but I'm hoping for the best. Once March and April hit it'll probably be smooth sailing from thereon out.
Anyway, miss you all. Keep in touch - haven't gotten many emails from people lately. I want to hear about what you're doing and how life is going!
Pat
PS - Sorry no pics this time.
