Wow! I'm exhausted. This has been quite a week full of letter writing, a million college application questions, and just the general pre-Christmas rush. I have managed to squeeze a little fun in here and there, however.
First of all, Pete and I are currently addicted to Grey's Anatomy. No, we don't get it on BG TV; instead, we have students download episodes off the Internet for us. Of course, I would never ask my students at home to do this for me, but here it feels pretty natural. As there is nothing on TV, all of us crave television from home. Grey's Anatomy is particularly heartwarming because it takes place in Seattle and there are always lots of city shots that make Pete and I go, "Ohhhh!!!! I miss Seattle!" or "I know where that is!" or "Look at the Space Needle!" Anyway, the show is good and the peek at home is great! We're only on season two right now, so don't give anything away!
Secondly, on Wednesday I learned how to make Tikvinik. Lyuba, my friend and counseling office assistant, came over to show me how to make this scrumptious Bulgarian treat. It kind of tastes like pumpkin pie, but you wrap it in philo dough. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make it for you all when we're home.
Third, this weekend is the annual staff Thanksgiving. If you remember from last year, every year around Thanksgiving the international staff makes a big Thanksgiving dinner for the BG staff. Then in May, the BG staff makes a big dinner for us to celebrate St. George's Day. Pete and I are in charge of mashed potatoes - fun! It's pretty cool. Most of all I'm excited for a Turkey Day, even if it is a week late. :)
I guess that's the update for now. Back to letter writing - I wrote 11 yesterday. Will I beat my record today? Only time will tell! Stay tuned!
