I’ve been keeping busy here but am well. I’m just getting over a small cold for which I’m glad. I have been getting an amazing amount of sleep. I go to bed at 9:00 and get up at 7:00. I’ve talked to the other volunteers and they are on about the same schedule. I’m not sure what the cause is. I have a could of theories:

1. The different enviroment, bugs, and injections are causing my body to work harder to stay healthy.

2. The language learning in intense and requires more brain power than I give it credit.

In all reality it is probably a combination of all the above.

My schedule is pretty busy. I spend two days a week with all the other volunteers in my group (group 19, 37 people) in a central location for technical training, heath training, immunizations, and other such things. The other days I have language class in the morning and early afternoon. In the afternoon we either have field trips, self study assignments, or free time. I typically spend the evenings goofing off with my family and studying the language. Such is my life. Busy…

I got a Mobile (Siemens C75 for the phone geeks out there) My number is 69 291976. To call from the states dial: 011.373.69291976. Please keep in mind that i am 7 hours ahead! My evenings or MWF afternoons are typically ood times. I don’t know what the charges from the states are but I have free incoming calls. I would recommend that if you want to reach me you call using Skype or Vonage. I think that should be fairly cheap. It is really expensive for me to call the states. I can use Skype but over dial up the connection isn’t great. You can send me text messages at http://www.voxtext.md/?lang=en #

I have a bunch of pictures to upload once I get a chance. This internet cafe doesn’t have CD ROM drives in the computer and I don’t have my pics on my memory key. I “can’t” upload them via dialup and the Cafe won’t let me plug my laptop in.

Back to Class!

PS Can anybody translate the instructions to activate internet on my phone: http://www.tempo.md/?c=4 :-) I love being a geek!
