Winter is coming

I can tell winter is coming - the days are getting shorter and shorter, and I'm starting to feel a little melancholy. Tonight I have decided to turn to writing tonight.

I'm still working at the International Rescue Committee in the United States, assisting with refugee resettlement stateside. It has been quite a challenging position, dealing with cultural dilemmas to finding enough apartments for the people who are arriving. We face numerous challenges everyday. On a related note, the troubles in Burma could change the refugee program in the US; at this point, the United States is admitting a lot of refugees from Burma, but as civil unrest continues there, it is possible that fewer people will want to come to the United States, opting instead to remain in the region to participate in a rebellion. Interesting to think about.

Not much going on in my mind tonight, perhaps that's why I'm having some trouble. I promise to come back with more later.
