Looking in a different direction.

Two weeks of school have reached completion.  The coursework is not begining to mount, and so are my plans for the next few months.  The Unigunz came over my house tonight to discuss organizing a show here in central Cairo, while I also asked them about other oppurtunties to work with refugee communities within urban cairo.  The simple truth is that while I love spending time with these guys, I am also begining to long for work that is more concerned with urban planning and community development.  In many ways, I'm having second thoughts about getting reimurssed within the ongoing project regarding hiphip and the local gangs.  Certainly there is a satisfaction to be found, yet really it isn't all encompassing, and this is very much the reason I had moved from fine arts to economic planning to begin with.  The more I look at job adds in other countries, the more I continue reading about development initiatives, and as I continue to stumble about my thesis, the more relevant this concern.  I'm not really sure where to look at the moment, but perhaps I can first inquire into St. Andrews, where Mallory works in the legal aid department for the resettlement of Iraqi refugees.  I'm also wondering if Fulbright can help me talk to the USAID office at the American Embassy down the street.  I'm not sure if there is really anything they can do, but I'm sure they can get me much further through the door than I could do by myself.
