2 weeks left in Lubbock

As many of you already know, I will be serving in Zambia in the Peace Corps. I leave July 22 for staging and then head to Africa a few days later. I do not have specific details for staging yet.


So I spend my last 2 weeks in LBK trying to hammer out a research paper for my final class....talk about a lack of motivation. It is pretty dang hot outside though and I do not want to run the A/C much so I spend my time at the library "working on my paper." I think I spend more time staring out the huge windows....maybe I should move to the basement.

Well, I don't have much more than this to say, so I'll leave you with a list of birds I have been watching flittering around outside:

robin
house sparrow
house finch
doves - mourning and rock....probably
grackles
brown feathers
gray feathers
man weed-eating with a cigarette wearing a black cowboy hat
old man with a funny hat
obese lady
lady on phone with a backpack, purse and 2 handbags

nervous potential freshmen with bossy parents and schedules
ol' bushel-britches
flip-flops
orange

here's a picture of Mesa on his move to the ranch

Stay tuned for more information on how to send me love in the form of letters and packages filled with all those neat things that the internet hasn't figured out how to send. yet.
