Sorry!! and I will be gone next week

This is a quick post while the computer is working: I will be gone to Miercurea Ciuc (the coldest city in Romania) for about a week: Monday-Saturday for a Peace Corps conference. To my knowledge, it's to check to make sure people in my group are healthy and if we're lost or confused/upset at our sites, our staff will give us ideas on how to make things go easier.

I'm ready to go, I had a hard 2 weeks (maybe ~ 1 1/2 weeks). I was pretty down about all the complaints I listed and etc...

There have been excited and fun things that I've done, but my computer isn't realiable enough right now for me to post. Like it's 10% reliable now.

I ask this now: WHEN I GO BACK TO THE US IF YOU HAVE A DEPENDENT LAPTOP YOU DON'T WANT ANYMORE I'LL TAKE IT.

I love my computer, but it's been over 5 years...and I need something for me to work from, to communicate from. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A SURGE PROTECTOR... Nothing could have saved the computer during that lightning surge, but having one might save the next laptop for my sketch electricity too.

(UPDATE): GREAT IDEA FROM A CONVERSATION....THINKING ABOUT IT THERE ISN'T REALLY ANYTHING I WANT AT ALL EXCEPT A BETTER LAPTOP...SO MAYBE FOR CHRISTMAS NO ONE GETS ME A PRESENT, BUT HELP ME A LITTLE AND I CAN BUY ONE.

Talk to you all when I get back!!!
Again, I will be in the US from 12/23-1/1/09 and I'll mostly be in SJ. We're having a Christmas party at my mom's newly remodeled house on Christmas day.

I suggested having a "gingerbread (not gingerbread, maybe snickerdoodle, or granham) house" competition. Why? cause it's fun and yummy! but it will be Mom's call I think.

Later =/

More details later but: I was at a...lunch where you eat to celebrate the dead. My neighbor's father died and we had a large meal to celebrate him 20 days after he died. There will be another bigger one after 40days. More later.


When I had no electricity and I brushed teeth by wind-up flashlight.



With Mihaela (teacher of Physics) (I know lots of Mihaelas: Mihaela of the public library, Mihaela teacher of Romanian, Mihaela of PE, Mihaela of kindergarden...etc...)
Anyway, we didn't just talk we did!! We remade the compost pile from what it was, to new. There's some positives about it: kids are using it1! but I am also sad cause ..some people didn't know how to use it and I found plastic and someone burned one of my recycling bins...=( Oh well. My vacation is Ciuc.


Again, later!!
