My 15 days home have come to and end and I am now back in Iraq. I still have one leg of the journey back left before I reach my camp. The temp is now in the 90's here, but there was a nice breeze today so it didn't feel too bad. I'm trying not to think too much about how hot it'll get in the months ahead.
One thing I found out yesterday is that the Harvest Bars (made by Power Bar) that they supply us with here have a Best Eaten By date of June 2005. That made me wonder if any of the other food we get is expired.

Settling Down...I wish
My time at home is quickly drawing to an end, and with the end comes the sadness of having to leave once again. Being back in the states and at home has made me all the more wish that I had a place (ie. apartment or house), of my own to call home. That and I'm finding out about more and more of my classmates, and now people in '06, who are engaged or married. I should count myself lucky for the living situation I've ended up with in Iraq, but it still doesn't quite compare to my own place where I can unpack my boxes and trunks which are currently under the basement stairs in my parent's house.
I guess what I really want is a chance to settle down a bit. I've spent the past year moving every few months all over the United States and world. I have a good chunk of time left in Iraq, but I don't consider being there really settling down and feeling at home.
Many of my classmates are in the same situation that I am in, that being we haven't had a chance to really experiance what it's like to live in the real world. The upside is that I am saving a ton of money by not having any bills to pay this year.

Happy Easter!
Jesus is risen! Happy Easter!
I haven't written in quite a while mainly because I haven't felt like writing. I'm finding that I'm writing more in my prayer journal or not writing at all rather than writing on here.
Currently I'm at home on leave, although I'll be starting my trip back to Iraq in just a few short days. I've enjoyed being home, and although nothing has changed from the other times I've been home this time I haven't found myself feeling at all bored and wishing I were back in the place I just came from.
It's rather late and I must get up somewhat early for Church tomorrow,er, today. Good night.
