It's a nice feeling to not have to worry about driving to Northridge in the rainy weather we've been having (although today is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!). My friend Inna is visiting from Armenia and it is her first time in America. In the past couple of days we haven't really shown her much of LA cause of the rain (somehow people in LA forget how to drive), and so today I'd like to take her to the Getty Museum. It should be a great day, and we'll be able to see ALL of L.A., all the way to Catalina Island! :)
It's been really nice to spend some time with her. It's looking as though I won't be able to go to Armenia until July....don't ask - I'm already becoming anxious. I wanted to spend New Year's there, but after calling Levon Travel, a not-too-friendly employee of theirs informed me that it would cost $960, so I said I'd rather save that money for when I go in the summer. By the way, I downloaded the application for the 10-year visa thing (since I end up paying more than $300 every summer in fees anyway), and it seems fairly simple. I just need to go get my 6 pics and I'm set... I should take care of that by the end of this week.
Yesterday I got offered a job teaching English at the Armenian Sisters' Academy, but I had to regretfully turn it down because they would need me to teach beginning March, and that's when I'll be receiving my 2nd radiation treatment... so it doesn't quite work out. Oh well, I'll find something else to do these 3 months that I'll be off. I'll be heading out to Vegas on Monday to spend Christmas with my aunt who lives there, and that should be a good change! After that, I'll be going to SF with my sister to spend a little time there.
This weekend I'll be at our agoomp practicing with the kids for our visit to Ararat Home on Jan. 4. They have been working hard on learning "Silent Night" (in Armenian) and some other songs and also I bought half of Pic'N'Save (now called Big Lots) so that they can make creative cards for the grammas and grampas. I have to admit, some of them are really ugly, but I'm sure the nenes and dedes will appreciate them anyway.. hehehe. And of course there's the Harout Barahantes on Friday! YAYYYYYY
TSUH! :)~
