The Foreign Service, learning new languages, and other ramblings along the way. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Protesters at U.S. Embassy Sana'a, Yemen. مرحبا It has been a while since I last posted!

Glad to hear you are doing well! January 27, 2013 at 4:48 PM. Good morning how are you? Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44.

The Foreign Service, learning new languages, and other ramblings along the way. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. US Policy in Central Asia. I am applying for the Fall State Department internship since I only made alternate for the Summer. Since the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs isn't offering overseas internships in the Fall, I have been looking at other regions that might interest me. Right now, I am leaning towards South and Central Asia. Can it be done with the current budget constraints? More wa...

The Foreign Service, learning new languages, and other ramblings along the way. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. First, I got my medical clearance today. Things are moving along rather nicely.

The Foreign Service, learning new languages, and other ramblings along the way. Friday, December 2, 2011. Honey, are you sure we don't need the Justin Beiber coffee maker? Every year I am extremely blessed to have such an awesome family to go visit for Thanksgiving. It's a great time to relax and enjoy important people in my life. That said, every year I almost vomit in my mouth when I see people during "Black Friday.". Shouldn't Christmas or Thanksgiving itself be the tradition. We have a debt culture i...

http://frenchfrydiplomacy.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
The Foreign Service, learning new languages, and other ramblings along the way. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I could, in theory, go somewhere where I can't bring it. or it won't work. Though, I think this is pretty unlikely and I want to be able to enjoy it now if I do get one. Anyhow, since Apple doesn't make regular Macbooks anymore. and I don't want to get a MacBook Pro. I pretty much have two options: iMac or Mac Mini. Mac Mini does not come with the monitor. 65279;The iMac will run $999. First off, I w...
