10 BOA: Obama & the Nobel Peace Prize! Wow!
Imagine serving under a president who has won the Nobel Peace Prize! Wow! That would be so cool! I'm so happy he won. I hope this gives a real boost to diplomacy efforts for peace. It will certainly engender more hope and -- I hope -- make the job of FSOs toiling abroad a lot easier. To me, one of hardest parts of life overseas is not necessarily the possible physical discomforts, which can be severe, but the suspicion with which your efforts are met -- simply because you are American. Our FSOs make so many sacrifices and yet those sacrifices sometimes go unappreciated, because they are working in a world in which the actions of the United States are often misunderstood and viewed with suspicion. I hope that with this Nobel Peace Prize, U.S. peace efforts and the men and women who spend their days working for it, will have an easier time of it.

I've been thinking about you this week...my fingers are crossed for you with the OA. Just remember to talk, remember to be the voice of compromise and concensus building in the group exercize, and don't forget the engage the math in the written exercize.
No pains, no gains..........................
