First week's over!

Well I survived my first week in the Foreign Service. I had my French test yesterday and scored 4+ speaking/4 reading (out of 5), about which I cannot really complain.

Given my French result, the fact that Djibouti is a Language-Designated Post, and that none of the other seven IT guys speak French, we're guessing that it'll be Djibouti. Our ordered list reads: Addis Ababa, Jakarta, Conakry (though my colleague whose wife is stationed there is 99.44% likely to get it), Santiago, Djibouti, Helsinki, Bridgetown, and Abidjan.

Patricia and I have a date tonight - our first movie in months - so I'm looking forward to our reacquaintance over dinner.

I've received only one comment so far - feel free to write in!
