patterns and updates

Life has settled into a pattern here... fasting during the day, eating everything we can by night, a good amount of TV watching and working almost every moment I'm awake.

In other news, we just welcomed the first newbies of our term, who completed their "Intro to AIESEC" conference today. It's a great group of nine students (from Sudan, Lebanon, Qatar, Bangladesh and other countries) that attend the Canadian University here. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent sessions of a few of the older members who faci'd the conference.

The organizaiton of the GCC conference is progressing nicely, and I love the committment many of the GCC MC members already have to making this a success, even though we haven't decided if it's on for sure yet. It's really awesome to be working across the region with people that share the same vision and purpose.

Insha'allah, I'll be in Oman on Thursday! I can't wait to see Lynn-Dogg and Brett "Cake in the Face" Borkan (and David, too!) and remember the good ol' times in Madison.

We're currently watching "Operation Dumbo Drop" on TV, because it's the best thing that's on out of the three English channels we get in our apartment. Oh, and I'm baking brownies right now that I have to go rescue from the (incredibly unevenly cooking) oven. We're probably going to eat them all tonight and then go shopping. :)

Just another night in Doha, Qatar, the Pearl of the Middle East...
