The Start

So, I finally thought it was time to jump off the bridge and join the Bloggers.

I guess I will start by telling everyone a little about what I am doing. My husband, John, and I are Peace Corps Volunteers, PCVs, in Bulgaria. We have been in country for almost four months now. Wow, time flies when everything is new. We both lived with host families for the first two and half months. It was a great experience. More to come about that later. Now we are living in Razgrad, a town of about 35,000 people. We like it here and are excited for school to start in September. I will be teaching mostly primary students at a general school while John will be teaching secondary students at the language school. We just started an English class for teachers at my school. The first day we had only four students, but it has been growing ever since. Last class we had twelve students. We started with the ABC’s and introductions last week and are moving on to simple verbs. We repeat everything a lot, but they seem to be catching on and learning. It is good to feel like I am finally doing some helpful. I have to start dinner, write more later.
