Still alive :-)

I think that this may be the longest I've gone without updating my blog! Almost an entire month. Does anyone still read this thing??? So the latest is that my dancers project is a GO!!!! Well, we're still short a few thousand dollars but I'm confident that in three months time I will be able to pull the money from somewhere. I went to Sofia yesterday and put down a deposit in order to reserve our plane tickets for March. The group is down from 22 people to 20. 2 Roma dancers had to drop out because they aren't able to find any funds. I hate that! I hate that these two kids can't come, and I hate even more that I'm not able to help them! It would have been phenomenal if they could come and do some traditional Roma dances. Could've been so cool to show a different side of Bulgarian culture. But hey, this project is working! After 10 months of up and down, up and down, will we go or will we not...we will go! At least right now it's a 90% chance that we'll go. Once we have all the money in and the plane tickets in our hands then I'll give it the 100% "go."

Oh yeah, and I'm still teaching. School is still there, the kids are still pains, and I've taken to flicking kids in the ear when they won't be quiet. All is well in my little corner of Bulgaria.
