10. Will it be too cold in Washington DC next week for me to enjoy the sites that I want to see there?
9. Who is the president of Nigeria now? And does it matter in the scheme of the country’s present political arrangement that there’s no one really in charge at the moment while the nation awaits the news on the president’s health? Does it stop the quotidian activities of the agents of state from going on or have citizens realized that their lives are really not controlled by whomever occupies the government houses?
8. Do I sound too angry in some of my blog entries?
7. Has someone in the entourage of Nigeria’s president been reading my blog from Saudi Arabia as Google Analytics has pointed out? Because I would really be flattered. Who else could be reading from Saudi Arabia? Could it be the president himself, to while away the time?
6. Does snow and fog affect the visibility of airplane take-offs and landings?
5. Will I still be able to make blog posts in the Winter when at this moment of just minus six celcius my fingers are already freezing up? If I don’t make new posts for more than a week, will I ever be forgiven by my now dedicated audience?
4. What other impressions does the reader of this blog get after reading a few posts, other than the fact that I’m a curious and often impulsive questioner and prankster – no, I mean quiet and quite unassuming but often probing fella?
3. Who really are those guys who read without leaving comments? 😀
2. How many of my fellow FLTAs now scattered all over the country are looking forward to seeing me at the DC conference? How many of them have forgotten my name, or even what I look like? How many of them are enjoying their teaching and learning experience as I am? How many of the ladies have already accepted marriage or relationship proposals from their American hosts? And how many of the men have made such proposals and have been brutally turned down? 😀
1. Am I really, really making my country – and/or the Fulbright Organization – proud at the moment? What does that even mean?

Do YOU sound angry in your posts?? Come read some of mine if you want to see real anger. 🙂
Actually, my husband and I were talking about this very topic yesterday. I was telling him how your blog is one of my favorite ones ever but how it is so different from my blog in the kindness, niceness, and gentleness of its tone. So if anybody has to worry about sounding angry, I don’t think it’s you. 🙂
Then again, I might be a poor judge of the appropriate degree of anger. 🙂
Have fun in DC!

I read without leaving comments. How about that? By now I know you enjoyed yourself in D.C. so no sweat. Yes, we still run our lives without the same without the president though I suspect that won’t be for long. Greetings.
