:P SOrry!

Hey everyone, i am really sorry i havent posted in a verrry long time. I have been extraordinarily busy, and also extraordinarily tired. I have seriously not felt well rested since coming here. In some ways, that is a good thing, because it means i am out doing things and getting to be part of this place, but in another way, it sucks, because i am constantly on the verge of having a nasty cold. :P UGH! but! enough about such depressing topics. That is not fun to hear about. GUESS WHAT! i got stuck in an elevator yesterday! and this is a romanian elevator! the are maybe 3 feet by three feet and are quite sketchy. We were coming down from the top floor of a bloc and we had four people in the elevator. That was a dumb move, but it would have been ok if one of my friends hadnt started to jump. It was terrifying. Three jumps in, the lights went out and there was a nasty slam sound. It sounded like we slipped out of something. Truly terrifying. The light said we were now on the second floor, but according to our friend who could not fit in the elevator, we were still on the eighth. Well between the eighth and the ninth actually. So there we were, four boys squeezed in a tiny area, suspended 8 floors above the ground, stuck between floors, without the ability to get the door open. Fantastic. So what do we do in this case? TAKE A PICTURE! it was really quite fun. We were in there for a total of five minutes, nothing as compared to what it could have been. We managed to get the door open and jump out. Before jumping out i remembered the fact that the elevator might slip while i am crawling out and cut me in haalf. GREAT! But i made it out alive, and i am going to try and post the video of our escape.
In other news, i am going to be directing a play, for which auditions are on monday. :P haha. I do not know what i got myself into. It is going ot be december 20th, which is kind of a bummer, because it limited my selection to christmas plays, which can be boring. I found a really funny one, but it is both short and maybe not the easiest to understand. It is going to be in english, as it is for my english class, and all of the people in the school who can speak english in the school. I am trying to find a christmas play that is interesting and easy to understand, harder than it sounds. I am very excited however. It will be so cool to see my final production. I am hoping someone will tape it in december, so i will post it if so. WIsh me luck, as it may be the endeavour of a lifetime. Trying to get a bunch of romanian kids to concentrate and come to rehearsals, and make a set. All in about a month and a half. :P
Halloween is comign up, and our class is celebrating by having a party tomorrow. I am excited. Iam going to dress as the joker. I went to thrift stores today and put together a decent costume. Not like the one from the movie, but still very jokeresque i feel. I cannot wait. I am going to be the "guest of honor" and i am even going to get a little certificate. They give out alot of certificates here. They call them diplomas. For example, I wrote and essay on the holocaust with my friend deea, and we were recently invited to a little ceremony to give out diplomas to those that wrote exceptional essays. I got a certificate and a book with pictures of SLatinas historical district. Ifelt honored. :D It was very cool. It is nice to know i can still do good things while i am here. It is frustrating not being able to do the school work very well, so to have a sign of progress is good.
MY friends have been teaching me new games too, which i WILL be teaching to people upon my return. They are so fun, the kind of games a bunch of teenage boys would play. They often involve pain. There is one, called lapte gros, or hard milk. It involves jumping in the backs of other guys, who are bent over with their heads in each others crotche for protection. It is so fun, depsite the previous description. I will also be posting a video of us playing that, when i get it. It is awesome. :D
I had tacos with my family the other night. It was like a bite from heaven, that first taste. IT was delicious, and it was a memory straight from home. OH! by the way, if any care packages are on the way, Kettle brand salt and vinegar chips or taco seasoning. I have quite a bit of peanut butter, but those two are what i need/ want, if interested. :D I will be sending my package out soonish, i just have to get somemore things, but it is going to be like a big, one time thing. SOrry if i have owed you for a while, chances are i have your present, i just need to buy the others to send it. :D
I PROMISE that i will update more frequently. I feel bad. :P DOnt give up hope on me!
Goals ,continue to leanr more vocab, and order somethign from a restaurant besides a drink.
