Rainy day

It has been raining for almost 24 hours. There are floods throughout Bulgaria and that is all they are showing on then news. It seems the 4 day weekend ahead of us, will best be spent at home. I have been invited to both Sofia and Rouse, but I dont know about either. I want to stay home and read, and possible go around to the neighboring towns here and take pictures. I think tis is a nice area with lots to see, and Brent wants to go too.

A little about Brent: He is American- without any of the stereotypical American behavior that was SO prevelant in Americans in Korea, from Iowa I think, and he is fresh out of University- or at least very recently. He is cute as a button, and all the female students will soon fall in love with him, I'm sure! He is mild-mannered, and bit nervous about teaching. He is nice to hang out with and loves Oscar. Need I say more?

So on October first, he will be moving into my apartment, which is actually growing on me to the point where I do not actualy want to move out any more, and I will move into the unit next door. I have changed a lot of things in my place and he will have a good home soon. I think living next to him will be easy, as he is really quite laid back. He is a good co-worker to have, and surely, will be snatched up by a lucky and smart Bulgarian beauty! I am glad he is here, as he has good music, can apparently cook, and seems to like the same things I do. Keeps us both from feeling isolated.

On a not so pleasant note, my director told my present landlord that I will be moving, and suddenly he isnt so nice to me any more. Last night, I went to tell them the dog had kept me from sleeping for 2 nights and he basically said "Too bad". Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think the true sign of a nice person is one who is nice when he has no reason to be. I guess that answers my quandary about him. That and the fact that I hear him screaming all the time. He is annoying and maybe its better that he isnt my landlord. Brent said he would be talking to him about keeping the dog tied up. Yeah, we shall see about that.

Well the bell just rang and that means I have a lunch date with Brent. Down the slippery steps we go. God help us, its still raining!
