Here it is a new month already, August 2011. As you know I am currently in Iraq working for the US Armed Forces. I love my job and the folks I work with, really great people. Of course I have a military background myself so we understand each other well and get along great. The daytime temperatures here have been hitting 120+ in the shade this week. I have been drinking gallons of water to keep hydrated. I shifted my work schedule to nights to beat the heat, now I only have to deal with 100 degree weather.
Our pride and joy, graduated from Duke University in May with a Masters in Nursing Science, she has just completed the first of two required 300 hour clinical programs that will qualify her to take the Nurse Practitioner exam in NC. She will be licenced for both primary and acute care. Way too cool, she is a hard worker and we are especially proud of her and her hubby, Chuck.
As I have said, I wish to someday return to Korea to work, or possibly live. Although I speak the language, I don’t speak it as well as I should. So, I have added that little activity to my list of things to accomplish before the end of the year. I found a great web site that is really great for beginners to learn to read, write and speak the Korean language. They also have a community page where “students” can chat and share to help each other along with the curriculum. Awesome, I recommend them for anyone interested in learning a foreign language, well Korean anyway.
Love to stay and chat but duty calls. My boss has this thing about me working while I’m here, sort a requirement if I wish to get paid.
