Settling In...

Well, things here are going fairly well. My host family is great, and I have been enjoying sleeping in and not being totally busy all the time. The down side, I am bored pretty often...a sentiment shared by many of my PC friends. I will start really having work to do in September, when school actually starts, but right now I feel pretty useless. It's good though, I have time to walk around town, I will start meeting my tutor on Monday (yay!!!), and have been catching up on my reading.

Yesterday I had my official 'first day' of work. It was pretty interesting. I met most of the teachers that I would be working with, and gave the people there some idea of how much Armenian I actually know. Not sure if it was above or below their expectations. When I got home from work there were some family visitors over who will be staying for a few days, it was kind of nice to experience a full house again. After dinner with them, we went to my host mother's uncle's house and had a big dinner that was delicious. Then there was fruit, some amazing Armenian fruit, that was by far some of the best fruit I have ever had. Plus side of Armenia, the fruit is unbeatable. Another added bonus, most of it is 'natural' grown with no pesticides or spraying. I love it!

Well, I am going to head home, I miss you all and have some money, so be expecting a phone call in the next few days! I love you all and miss you lots!
