Every day I wake up and it's Sunday Whatever's in my head won't go away

In the last 24 hours, Tampa to DC to Kuwait to Baghdad.

• Gryphon Air I was nervous about, but turned into being a really 'nice' flight to Baghdad
• Met 3 people enroute, one medic heading south, one security guard heading south Baghdad, and one teacher who is working to integrate people and teach them modern stuff
• My room is small, spartan but enough to suffice and keep it all good for a while, my roommate is an older gentlemen from Korea that's very friendly
• The surroundings are beautiful / surreal
• It's dusty and dirty
• Saw a Becks beer bottle, after closer look, non-alcoholic of course
• I've already been signed up for a dodge ball tourney next Sunday
• There seems to be plenty for moral
• 3 of my coworkers picked me up at the 'airport'
• Throughout the night I'm hearing sounds that I've never heard before, planes, etc, etc
• flying over the 'outskirts' of Kuwait City reminds me of Tatooine, the other parts of the city look very modern and exciting. Flying over Baghdad things look very impoverished.
• The smell isn't all that great

All in all, ready for the 'new adventure,' feeling strangely fine.
