finally!

finally! Time to write a blog. As I said, I have found internet at my school, but usually when I get on, I am surrounded by student saying ello teacher, ello or Salam Mualima. and then proceed to stare at my screen. But alas, I have found the computer room on the second floor that was opened today. This room is for teaching teachers in computer courses, and the woman who comes from Baku everyday gave me chocolate and tea, oh yes, this room will do much better. Hopefully in will be open more, Inshallah. Unfortunilty though there is not much to report. Life continues to go on here in the region of Shabran. I am currently looking for an empty house for my sitemate and I to move into in April. Everyone assumes that because I want to move I am having problems with my family. But I tell them that everything is wonderful there, as it is, and just explain that in America people my age do not usually live with thier families. How American is that! My students are great and we are starting to build relationships. Life out here in the region is quite different than that of Baku, or my nearby training city of Sumgayit. I no longer here jets flying over head with the call to prayer in the back ground, or loud buses honking. It is quite here and the air is fresh. We had our first major snow fall this week, and I played snowballs with my kids. I would say that finding a weekly routine has made the weeks go by much faster. I can not believe I only have seven weeks left with my host family. And once summer comes and there is no school to teach, when the TEFL volunteers become Youth Development volunteers, I have a feeling that I will be quite satified and that time will pass quickly. Ok, time to go home and eat some lunch! Bye, miss and love you all!
