Study Break

I'm going crazy! I am completely overwhelmed with this class i'm taking. Here's the book: Contending Theories of International Relations: A Comprehensive Survey. An apt title. It is incredible comprehensive! AHHHHH!!! So here are some fun stories to help me kill some time after surfing myspace and returning all my emails, and checking Jenny's blog, and my bank account, and the...ect. You get the picture. :-)




The view of Butterfly Valley, Turkey from the water









Me playing with my underwater camera. :-)









The Tarsus mauntains from across Antalya harbor








Self portrait along the Bosphorus in Istanbul











A dude selling little spirograph sets. Fairly common, I thought it was pretty amusing. :-)






Quintesential Cole.









My baby bro with his face busted in from the bloodiest incident ever at Manchester High School!










Our AWESOME non-alcoholic beer on base. It's actually better than you would think. Graded on an army curve.






How pretty....It's a big mount of sand! This is a berm.






Oh, something cool did happen yesterday. My friend Potter broke his arm (not the cool part) and I helped fix it up and take care of him throughout the day. Well in the evening I could tell more of what was wrong and recommended that he go back to base to get it looked at. It turns out it was broken just where I thought it was (yeah me) and the doctor said if I hadn't splinted it the way I had and treated him as I did throughout the day he would have had to get reconstructive surgery because of the kind of break it is and where. As is, he just has to get a cast. YEAH! It's really nice to get to help someone in a tangible, visible way. I like being a medic. He'll be back at work tomorrow.

Well, I must be off. Please pray for me with regard to my school work. I need focus and modivation and insight. The material is interesting, just expansive. Thanks!
