busy time

this is going to be quick because i have ton to do!  we are having a community meeting tom pm for the day camp we have to put on and i need to "rehearse" what i'm going to say...and even then i'm sue i'll say it wrong!  anyway that's tom and then on thurs we have to give a 7 min presentation on a cultural topic from b.  we are doing ours on the valley of the roses and are sort of done but it needs some work.  then of course there's the 4th.  my trip to glodshevo went well and i am excited.  that's where i'll be living after vershets. don't know very many details and when i have an address believe me you'll know!  g is in the northeast part of b and is 80% turkish with a little bulgarian and roma population.  i will be working in an english school, a kindergarten (which has ages like our child care centers), and with the municipatily, or town offices.  there are about 4900 peoplethe main religion is muslim and there are 3 mosques and a church is g.  the unemployment rate is about 30%.  i'm looking forward to developing some things but understand it will take time.  the wheels in my head already started spinning!  the english school has about 8 teachers and their priority is teaching english.  everyone i met seems very nice and i look forward to working with them.  that's going to be it for now.  things are getting busy and it's not to be any time at all i'll be heading to g for the next 2 yrs!  i'll try to post some pics soon!
