Man, I am pretty bummed. I had a whole nice long blog written out, but this was an unplanned internet trip and I left my flash at home. Way to go Katie, way to go. I don't really have the time to type it now, so I guess I will post it later.
Things are still going well. Work is mostly paper mache, making masks and costumes and getting ready for the big film festival that is coming up in a month. The kids are fairly excited for it, and I am just ready for it to be here!
Things with the host family are going very well. They are amazing. Recently, my host brother discovered the amazingness of my Nintendo DS and has since completely kicked my behind in Mario. Whatever. Also taught most of my family some new card games, one of which resulted in me learning the Armenian word for 'Rat'. My sister did not like it when I won!
This Monday was a holiday here as well. Independence Day. Interestingly enough it was not celebrated nearly as much as the church holiday last weel. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about that one.
Answered my host family's phone today when everyone was out. I normally don't, but it wouldn't stop ringing (They don't have answering machines here). It went surprisingly well. It was the Post Office calling to tell me that I had a couple of letters waiting. The crazy thunder storms had cleared up, so I decided to walk down there. Thank you Gramp and Phyllis and Aunt Jen and Uncle Henri for my birthday cards! I also found a new internet place on my walk, resulting in this very unplanned blog! I didn't ask about the price though, so I am hoping it is not too expensive!
Next weekend I go to Yerevan on Saturday, and then back to Karenis on Sunday!! I am very, very excited. I can't wait to see my old host family. I miss them very much. Actually, just thinking about it makes me super happy. It should be a very good time, there is some sort of village wide celebration.
Well, it is cold today, and the owner has the door open. My hands are kindof going numb, so I am going to cut this one short.
I miss you all and love you lots! 93 days and counting!
