Time passes sooooo fast when you're soooo busy! First of all, YESSSSS I'm alive and well! :) Second... midterms week is finally over, and actually... Spring Break is almost over too (which isn't too great of a thing). After exams were over, I flew on over to San Francisco to visit my sister. I've been heren for 5 days already, and having done all the regular running around to this place and that place.... I'm finally taking a day to relax and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! :) In the past few days we've been to N.Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Hate & Ashbury, .....etc... PLUSSSS we went to church for Dzaghgazart! wow...the community here is soooo different! It was really nice! :)

In between preparing for exams and writing papers, I finalized my summer travel plans! yayyyyy Notice I say..."travel"... THAT alone took HOURS of being on the telephone and emailing people back and forth. I was finally able to find a decent priced ticket..and now on May 31st I'll be on my way to the east coast....and I'll arive in Yerevan on June 9th! YAYYYYYYYYYYY So obviously my countdown on ALL my calendars has started.... :) To add to this excitement... the Armenian Studies Program at my university (Cal State Northridge) was able to get clearance to take students to Armenia this summer for a 3 week course! DOUBLE YAY! So I'm kinda busy helping plan the "big trip".

I guess that's my little update for everyone... I'll be back home in a couple of days, and I promise to write a log with a bit more substance and detail. :) hehehe
TSUH! (for now)

(how cool that our emails are up top!) :)
p.s. - CONGRATS to Rhoda! right on!! So maybe we'll meet in August when u come to Armenia!? And Raffi.... WOW... I never knew that stuff about Canada and Armenians - VERY interesting! I shall invest in that book ASAP!
