Burn out the day, burn out the night.
The toughest thing about being in Doha for six weeks is the ever-impending thought that I have to return to the USA. Not that I dislike the USA, or anything else at home (besides my commute to work), but I've had a lot of fun here so far. I've done more in the four weeks that I've been here than I did in nearly a year in DC.
I think it comes down to the fact that here I'm relying on everyone else to get around and do things. It could be that, or the fact that a lot of the people I'm working with over here are my age, and we have similar personalities, and similar ideas of fun. I have a feeling I'm going to go back to DC and have the shock of not having anything to do on the weekend (except plan for the wedding).
In any case, it has been a lot of fun over here after work and on the weekends. I really wasn't expecting that, but thanks to everyone who works over here for GU, it's been a great trip. Only two weeks left, and there is so much I'd still like to do - and a lot of stuff I'd like to buy to bring home. I'm thinking of maybe taking a cab to City Center Mall tomorrow to do some shopping by myself. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to get back to the apartment.... I'm sure it will be an adventure, and good for me.
