Rather Clever Plan to Successfully Avoid Missing Summer
1. Take tanning breaks.
I know; this is beyond brilliant. This is how I plan on convincing my boss.
Convincing Justification
1. I will not wear shorts. Just pull my pants up high enough
to reveal my charming ankles.
2. My doctor reported a vitamin D deficiency **Cough** last
September.
3. People take smoke breaks so I should take tanning breaks.
Then we can both get cancer.
But since its still spring here are some things I love (and
sometimes don’t love so much) about springtime in Afghanistan:
Dust Storms. They’re beautiful. The sky turns this amazing
yellow and then when you walk outside you immediately inhale a sand box. Gross.

When it rains here everything floods. This time it flooded
so bad the water was entering the education center. The guys began moving
sandbags and dealing with the excess water. I took pictures, like a normal,
helpful person.

There are actually flowers! The trees here are called Bagram trees and they smell great. Unfortunately, the last wind storm stripped the trees of the flowers but it was really pretty for awhile.

wow jess- keep updating this! I love your tanning idea ;) you're so cute and i miss you, but I love that I get to read about your adventures. I can't believe that you're in Afghanistan. That's crazy! I really want to know more, so keep it up. What's your favorite part about being there? What are you actually doing for your job? Do you like the people there, and do they like you? What's your least favorite thing?
