Hello everyone,
Well i was getting good at this for awhile...but then I started to lag... sorry. Let me think for a second about what has happened since i last logged in. To begin with I shall relate the events of the all volunteer conference we had a week ago.
Essentially we had a conference on safety and security...which was bupkiss. The whole conference was basically an excuse to have a thanksgiving dinner! and it was delicious. I made roast veggies and eggplant, which i thought would be disgusting but wasn't so bad! so good job lizzie! we also went to the ambassadors freaky mansion for cocktails before the dinner. the mansion was hideous and modern (i have come to the conclusion that american buildings abroad and in the states have no care for asthetics and are henious and large buildings built with no imagination or design and the only thing they care about is if it can be secured... and even that varies!). THe house was really modern but inside it was really kitschy. there were quilts and kitsch memorabillia lining the walls... very bizzare.
Oh the conference also focused ALOT on the avian flu, and what happens when we get it. But i'm not too concerned. if I die from the flu i die from the flu... you know?
Oh, I got in a fight with a preist the other day because he didn't feel that teaching kids about a pagan holiday like halloween was appropriate...that was pretty annoying. there is absolutely NO separation of church and state in this country.
Hmmmm, what else. Oh well that is all for now.
More later! am thinking about going skiing for christmas (never mind that i don't know how) and then off to gay paris!
am still having a blast here!
miss you all!
lizzie
