the mass email
Have you ever been so far behind on communicating you do not even know where to begin. I feel like a novelist staring at a blank page, but with far less interesting stories to tell. Yet, this is no way to treat friends.

So, here is an update.

Mowdou and I are staying in Mauritania for awhile. We have sent in the VISA application, but we haven't hear anything. I have taken a job as a teaching assistant/ substitute teacher for an english speaking school. At first I was disappointed to take such a detour from my career path, but honestly, I am learning a lot about management of people and learning styles.

We are hoping to return to America in June. When the school year ends, but a lot relies on the VISA process. Luck-ly, my parents are helping us out, an unexpected surprise, so I have hope.

The mass email is soon to follow...perhaps I will even write some of my friend that I think about on a regular basis.

Ugghh....I am terrible.

Even though your parents were (and may still be) negative about Mowdou, they do love you and want you to succeed at whatever you care strongly about. Don't forget this. :)

I often see some family member I haven't seen in a few years and am stuck trying to say something. I usually end up being very terse, which doesn't make either party happy, but it's the best I can do. Just focus on the very best moments of your past few years and the mass mail will be manageable.
