Absence

So some of you may have been wondering where I've been lately. Well this is no April Fools joke but my computer has committed suicide so my connection to the world outside of Arad is severely limited. The IT guy at my office is working very hard to try and find me a reasonably priced second hand computer for me to use for the next year so keep your fingers crossed.

~My new site is just fantastic. I have fallen in with a diverse crowd of Germans, Hungrians, a few Scots and a Brazilian with naturally a few Romanians as well. They are all part of an ENglish conversation club that officially meets on Wednesdays and gather socially three or four other times during the week. I also love my new apartment and have finally finished decorating it with oodles of pictures from home and here enough to make it feel cozy. 

~My new workplace is great too. I really feel like I've gotten a new start and am eternally grateful for it. Tomorrow morning I will submit a request of financing to build a greenhouse from plastic bottles with some street children, a playground made from tires, and to hold a contest at the local art school to build sculptures from recycled materials. 

~This weekend is Easter and its kinda a big deal. I'll be back later with details but it involves running around the church (literally) and smashing of eggs (boiled)

~Thank goodness Spring-like weather has finally arrived. FLippers and shades are no longer unacceptable though I still catch hell for it from jsut about everyone I walk past but they can't  stop me my piggies need some sunshine!
