I cannot get enough of Sigur Ros right now. it's just so pretty. I just finished reading 1984 and i loved it (i think it mentioned that in the last post). There was about a page and a half that i reread at least 3 times. for some reason or another i resonated with it. I thought about it a lot on my way to Hissar this last week (I had to go there for a Peace Corps Conference = boring conference but hey there was a pool and a waterslide! so of course i had fun). Anyway. I have been forcing myself to do something artistic once a week whether that be sketch (thanks Rach), look at art via internet (through this i have discovered that Picasso is my favorite artist), paint with watercolor, or oil pastels just to get some practice at it. I want to be better so i figured thats the only way to do so. There is an awesome idea for that page and a half that i really liked out of 1984, its going to be a triptych with some watercolor, and newspaper. I am excited for it and may let you see it one day. dont know why but i am private about my art stuff.
um, Mechka is getting huge. She was babysat while i was gone this last week and i was stunned to see her again. i should put pictures up of her again.
Some other things I suppose:
- I am going to be starting Pilates again the first week of March.
- My family got a little over 300 childrens books donated to me.
- Spring is coming soon!!
- Winter wasnt that bad, actually i enjoyed some real snow.
- I am really considering starting an outdoor club for Summer. I found some good places to hike and it will give me an excuse to play soccer once again.
- I have a meeting with one of the teachers at the school to talk about Human Trafficking. I really want to get this information flowing in the school but because of my lack of Bulgarian and the difficulty in doing a project like this it will be exciting if she is willing to help.
- English classes with the adults is going really well and am confident for it to end soon- meaning they can read on their own and all that jazz.
I think that is all for now. And I will leave you with this hopeful article : http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=1
Love you.
