Before I have properly 'blogged' about everything since my last homestay, I am leaving on our next excursion. We are heading to Sainshand, Dornogobi Aimag. We will be there from October 20 - October 23. I leave tomorrow morning by train. This coming Monday is my oral and written language exam, so this trip will be filled with language study. Tonight I am struggling to finish my Independent Study Project proposal. The ISP is the month long study project where we are set loose to study whatever we want. I will post my proposal up here once I have things finalized...but for now, here's a teaser. This is the State Morin Khuur (Horse Headed Fiddle) Ensemble, or three of them, whow came to our classroom to play. They are about to head out on a big tour, but I did get to find out where to buy the Horse Headed Fiddle before they had to leave!
(hmm... I need faster internet before this will happen...apparently.)

Baby Girl this blog is so amazing. I love reading it. I know That Girl. Your poem is so lovely. There is a crazy book of poetry written by a decadent french poet called "La Fleur du mal" (the flowers of death") It used to set on the back of the guest toilet. Might be an interesting compare and contrast there. I love you.
Grace, I found an old email with your blog addy, for which I'm thankful! Because now I can better visualize you in Mongolia. Looks like you're experiencing and learning much. May the Lord continue to guide and protect you throughout the semester abroad.
