The house I'm staying at - at least for now - is painted a myriad of colors, mostly bright orange. It's nice to see color when everything around here is sandy tan, khaki, off white, and grey. My room has a lot of blue and mahogany, and my towels are chartreuse (which I'm sure my Marines would love to see), hot pink, neon orange, and salmon. It's AWESOME. Hopefully, I'll get to stay, as I love the host I'm with, but it's very dicey right now. Apparently, I'm in a "special student" status, so I'm not qualified for housing by the university, and I'm not a full-time employee as an intern, so I don't get housing there, either. If I do get to stay with her, though, I'm going to have to learn to drive.
In Qatar.
Where there are roundabouts about every 1/4 to 1/2 mile and no one uses signals to signify exiting.
The only roundabout I've ever driven on was the Circle of Death in Waco, and with two lanes that's terrifying enough. This has three. But I'm going to be taken out early Friday morning when everyone is in church or still sleeping to get practice. There's a 90% chance that regardless of where I'm living, I will be behind the wheel at some point this semester.
Can't I just rent a camel or something?
But seriously, please keep me in your prayers as we all try to figure this thing out. There's even talk of me maybe working with the AF or at various embassies since I speak French, too. Whatever happens, God has it in control, but I'd love to know His thought process right about now! :)
