Ladies and gentlemen, Student Civic raised over $2000 dollars from the talent show yesterday. Hooray! We could have raised more, but there were too many events going on last night, like the Yankees 6-5 victory over Boston Red Sox. (Oh what a thrill!) Everytime there was an intermission or a delay all the judges, and a few of my friends and I would run to the conference room to find out the score. Then my brother and I rushed home, turned on the TV and caught Boone's home run in the 11 th inning. I don't mean to brag but he sent the Red Sox's home! :)

To answer the comment, no there are not to many Armenians in my school. I have maybe met two, and only there father's are Armenian. They have no idea about Armenia, and where it would be on a map. Which is a pity, because if you are related to a country like Armenia, you should flaunt it. However, during this season of tennis, I was telling my team about my summer in Armenia. And out of nowhere this girl says wait "You're Armenian? I'M ARMENIAN TOO!." And before I know it we were giving each other hugs, smiling, laughing, like two friends separated for years. It was great, too bad the rest of the team could not relate. Her family is from Bolis (Istanbul), despite the fact that the dialects are so different that we never understand each other, it is all good.

Oh and before I forget to mention, for all the New Yorkers out there if you like Aram Asatryan, his band will be performing at the Atlantic Oceana Music Center. Tickets are for $70, $80 and $90. Show includes dinner, and also a featured guest Armine
Minasyan performing on duduk and clarinet. So for a night of dinner and dancing you may call (718) 743-1515...or (718) 208-6288...or (718) 753-8117. Don't ask why there are three numbers. Alright for all those Asatryan fans out there "zama yekela arten 7:40..." and I have to go. :))
