Yes.... I know.... I haven't written in absolutely FOREVER!!!! and yes, I do have very valid reasons (aka excuses). So, the first being that this is the last couple of weeks of school (actually I have just 2 days left of finals). The second, being that I had some booboo-s with my health (don't ask). The third, I'm EXTREMELY busy with planning Cal State University, Northridge's (CSUN) trip to Armenia. I'm finally done with their daily itinerary and I just gave them their "do's" and "dont's" tonight..so wish us luck! I cannot believe that in 2 weeks, I will be in an airplane starting my journey towards Armenia... yayyyyyy!!!
Have you ever felt like you had so much to say yet when you wanted to say it, nothing actually came out? Well, call me weird, but that's exactly how I feel right now. People have been emailing me asking me where I am and how come I haven't written in so long....but really.... I'm just blanking out.
Tonight I was speaking to a room full of Armenian students who are going to go to Armenia for the first time this June. I presented our itinerary and told them what to bring and what not..... but most of all I enjoyed telling them about all the connections they will make, and how they will most definitely return with a different perspective of their Armenian identities. As young Diasporan Armenians, this trip is going to influence each of them differently....and what's exciting is that I'm going to be there to see it. I feel like all the hours I've put into typing, and calling, and writing, and explaining, ... it'll all be worth it if in the end I was able to influence ONE person.
Other than that... everything is pretty much normal here. The Armenian community is still doing the same old stuff.. Same old Harout P. barahanteses, etc.
One thing.... Message to the Repats: If you have special requests...let me know, I'd be more than happy to bring you (for example) Lucky Charms! ;) hehehehehe
TSUH!!! :)~
