Update! Well maybe. Possibly. Or not. Who knows?

The title of this post refers to the lifestyle I am adapting to.  Nothing in this culture is definite. It changes day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. Yesterday we were told to begin moving into our apartments. By the evening, there was word that we actually were not  allowed to move in yet. Then this evening we got another note to start moving in. Sooooo... I am moving to my apartment soon. Well maybe. Possibly. Or not. Who knows?
See how it works?

Today I had my first "American" meal since arriving. Fuddruckers! And they had ranch dressing, which is virtually unheard of here! I also paid  for my couch, chair and coffee table which are scheduled to be  delivered Saturday.  On a sad note, apparently the warehouse that was manufacturing the bed I ordered burned down today. It was emotional to hear this as I had really enjoyed getting to know the salesmen, whose livelihoods greatly depend on the mass orders recently placed by the incoming teachers.


Tomorrow morning we have the Bedaya Forum for all teachers. In the evening I get my rental car and can possibly go clean and prepare my apartment for move-in! I will miss the hotel though when I have to move in a week or so, although if I can get one of the guys from the omelet station to come cook me breakfast every morning, I think I will be fine!
