Chapter Eight: The Calm Before the Storm
I got two packages today, both from She-She, with one including the start-up disc for my computer, so expect big things soon.I just took my first language test, which entailed a conversation with 3 language and cross-cultural teachers. I had the exciting task of decribing my Kyrgyz family, givng directions from my school to my house and then buying water and Twix from the local store. If there were grades, I bet I got a "Satisfactory."
I'm about to go home, fix my laptop and write and write and write.
I've been doing the pen and paper thing for weeks, and while I do find it satisfying, my hands are weak and my hand-writing is pitiful. I did, however, mangage to write some letters, even though, technically, they haven't been mailed yet and may or may not be sitting in my bag right now.
I got a call from my dad last night, and sort of got emotional. I like him a lot, even if he canceled his season tickets for the White Sox the same year they swept the World Series.
I wish I had some mechanical pencils.

I haven't used a pencil since middle school. Grow up and buy some pens.
Col Col,
I bought you books, but I haven't sent them because you said you're moving.
When you tell me where to send them, I'll send them.
I mailed you a couple things today. One was another letter, but one was something you better receive because it's straight up awesome. You'll know when you get it, and if it ends up being lost in the mail I'll be Hulk-angry because if I were you this is EXACTLY what I would want mailed to me right now. (Hint: "I, like, LOVE baseball. I just love baseball."
Babe, you need to start doing a better job with this Blog business. I know you're busy learning how to be a super-star PCV and to speak Kyrgyz and all that, but come on! Sheesh!
Love you anyway.
всичко хубаво
Heather
