accumulating STUFF!

I broke down and bought a DVD player. I was assured that I could use it in Canada. It remains to be seen. I also bought a portable little mini keyboard for my laptop and hopefully that will enable me to write more to everyone. I can now type N and B and not have the windows close on me. I also have a working space bar. Oh how small things make me so happy.

Tomorrow is the last of the easy days. I am not looking forward to going back to 8am classes. I am not looking forward to Februaury actually. Eventhough my birthday is in this month, I am not relaly looking forward to spending it here all alone. I am not all alone of course. I have people around who make me happy but I want the one person here who cannot be here. Doesnt that just figure!

I'm going to Ava's mom today , who is a dentist and will clean my teeth. Last time I did this was in Korea when I worked for Unique in Gwangju and that was the speediest cleaning I have ever had. I hope they are more thorough here in Bulgaria. Dental work is extremely cheap here and so many come here from Greece for exactly this. Hopefully she wont find any cavities. I dont feel any, so I should be OK.

I baked Carrot cake today and it being the first time I used my oven, I burned both the tops of the cakes. They are still edible and dare I say even popular and my co-workers liked it. I shall bake another and hopefully not let it burn. This weekend I think I will attempt bagels. Keep your fingers crossed folks. Can you tell I need stuff to do?

I have started walking hom with a co-worker. We have done it all week and I get to talk to her outside the 4 walls of ACA. I like her a lot and I feel the feeling is mutual. We have been talking about getting used to living with people and communication between people. I like these kinds of discussions. I like it even more when I find out I have so much in common with someone else who I see each day. Somehow it makes things more comfortable. I hope we can go to a movie this weekend.
