Well, I think now I have some stuff to write about.
I've been busy the past few weeks with planning the Youth Corps trip, coordinating all the flights, yevayln. At the same time a group of my cousins will be in Armenia, so I'm helping them plan their trip too. Somehow I think it's sooo important that a lot of those people, whose first time it will be in Armenia, enjoy Hayasdan and come back wanting more! I know the "essence" of hayrenik will do a lot of that, but I'd like to make their trip as pleasant and smooth as possible.
Other than that, I'm being dragged to the doctor again. Haha.. not really dragged, but they're doing some testing on me to make sure i'm A-OKAY before I leave. This year, I'll be in Armenia during the fall for the first time! I'm quite excited. The only bad part is that I have to pack both summer clothes AND fall clothes! I'm thinking, if I find a job while I'm there, I just might end up staying! I'm leaving it to God to decide... :)
The past weekend we had a barahantes to celebrate May 28 Independence, and also on Sunday we had an event at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre. Shushan Petrosyan sang... beautifully! My sister also sang, and she sang one of my favorite songs, "Lerner Hayreni". It was funny cause for the second year in a row, the number of people in the audience has become less and less. Was it that the weather was somewhat cloudy in the morning, then nice towards the late afternoon? Was it that there was a Laker game? Were there many other events that evening? Why wouldn't someone go to a FREE May 28 Donagadarootyoon... ? Are people just not interested? I don't know. Maybe as organizers we need to think about what this sort of event gives to the people, perhaps NOTHING!?
Next event... May 28 picnic, on Monday, May 31 at Ferrahian on Parthenia. Let's who'll show up to this free event!
TSUH! :)~
