It's my 6 month mark over here in Iraq, and so far it has been a huge blessing. I've learned a lot, and managed to make a dent in my debt, but still quite aways to go. I've decided to do one more year out here, I'm hoping it will benefit me immensely. So what have you been up to from 6 months ago to now?

I'm going to work in Iraq. I leave for Fort Benning in Georgia on Oct. 5. This will be a new experience, but I praise God for the oppurtunity. I know I'll need lots of prayer!

It was my second day at my intership, and it was pretty cool. I got to sit in on a staff meeting, which was kind of disorienting, because I just started and didn't really know what was going on, but I tried to listen in as much as I could. After, I was sent to transfer music videos from Beta tapes to DV tapes, which was pretty cool because I got to watch about 3 hours worth of videos. After that, my supervisor asked me if I could take some B roll of the bay area to use for the show. I was pretty excited about that, so hopefully before I go in on Friday, I can get some good footage.
