ahhh...finally...

"I have the internet, I have the internet, I have the internet hey hey hey hey" is on repeat in my head. In fact, I am quite sure I am doing a little dancing to the tune. I have the internet ladies and gentlemen. In my house. Yea, the internet in my house. I am happy, beyond happy. I would even go so far as ecstatic. I am that happy. It is unbelivable. Went down with my host mum today (you need an Armenian passport to sign up for post-paid, unlimited plans) and signed up. Holy moly...I have the internet in my house. Yes, it may be 12000 dram (30 bucks) a month, but oh boy, will it cut down on my phone card expenses. Not only can I use Skype (which I am downloading as we speak) to talk to everyone in country, but I can also use it to call America unlimited for only about 6 dollars a month. That, my friends, will save me hundreds of dollars while I am here. I am excited like you couldn't believe. I will also no longer have to pay crazy amounts of money for internet cafes anymore, can upload all my pictures for a whole lot less then a small fortune. ahh...I am beyond excited.

Other things that I think you should know:

-This week we are making recycled paper with the Sunchild Eco-Club. The kids love doing it, and it is fun and easy to do. Good times.

-Also working on preparing a play version of 'Little Red Riding Hood' with the kids for a party we have coming up to end the year. I found a book and CD in English in Yerevan. It will be fun.

-I start English lessons with the Art School teachers tomorrow. It will help with my Armenian, and thier English will get better...we both need it.

-I am going to hopefully start doing an 'environmental art' program at the preschool in Dilijan, cross your fingers for me, I really want to.

-I also might start helping the English teachers at one of the schools with their classes, and I am going to try and start doing some type of program at one of the youth clubs in town.

-I came home to my mum making stuffing again, I brought stuffing to Armenia, my work here is done! haha...I love it! I don't think the peanut butter was a big hit though, oh well...more for me!



oh..and I am going to visit my old host family soon...I cannot wait to see them again!!

24 DAYS AND COUNTING!!
