| Tuesday 14, May 2002: Moving Sites. |
| Well, I guess it's time to update everyone on my living situation now. A few weeks ago there was an incident in my town, and for security reasons, I was required to change sites. Right now, I am currently homeless, living with Jake in Omertag. I bet I'm really getting on his nerves, but I have no where else to go. I was given about one day to pack up my whole apartment, and there is no way I could have done it without the help of my students. All 26 of them showed up at my apartment early in the morning and spent 2 hours packing up everything. They were absolutely wonderful. I'm really going to miss seeing them everyday, but I know that I will be back to visit them often. My friends in town were also great. We had a dinner the last night I was in town (Lisa planned it) and everyone was really supportive. I guess in a way I'm still in shock that I had to move towns. I really love Karnobat, and think in a way what happened was just a fluke. But, no matter how much I wish I could change things, I can't. I will be going on Thursday to meet with the director of the new school I will be teaching at. I will be moving to a slightly bigger city than Karnobat was - around 100,000 people. I'll also be moving to a language school. I don't really know how that will change the experience, better or worse. Right now I'm just trying to survive with my 2 sets of clothes that I have with me. Everything else is in storage in Sofia. Oh well. That's about all for now. Dad should be coming in a few weeks. He's stopping over in Sofia on his way to a wedding in Greece. It will be nice to see him, and to meet Judy. I've got to go now. Take care, and be safe. -Sarah |
