Just wanted to throw an update out here, not much new going on in Iraq. I have just been studying and getting caught up with my classes. My two classes Introduction to Java and American Government are wrapping up next week, so I have to take my finals. I’ll be just a teensy bit busy taking care of that!
Anyhow I’ll try to drop more pictures here when I get a chance.

Still grinding away at catching up in my classes that I got behind on while at home visiting. Other than that not much has been going on over here. I’m currently working midnight shift on the Help Desk so it is relatively calm. I’ll keep posting pictures though as I get time. Oh and today I received another box from the Yellow Ribbon Girls, love to see those. I think my co-workers love seeing them even more, they devour all the treats packed inside.

Here are two random pictures on Camp Slayer. Was watching some of the contractors on a small boat, they go around the lake and pull the overgrown seaweed stuff into the boat then cart it off.

Here are some photos and a short movie clip from my first trip to Balad just before Christmas 2007. The movie clip just shows the Blackhawk gunner firing off a few rounds to ensure his weapon is working.

Ok I’ve posted all the pictures I feel like posting today. I have to get to work on my 10 page report on Arlen Specter…. yay. It’s for my Government and Politics 170: American Government class. Let me tell you the thrills I get at the thought of that /sarcasm off.
I will go through my hard drive and post some more pictures tomorrow.
