Happy New Year everyone! I just felt like writing this morning. I am in the process of finding out when I can return to Armenia - I have to wait until my proposal is accepted and then I will know. It might be this year, it might be next - who knows. But, the thing is all those pictures of the snowy days are making me wish I was there right now - they are soooo beautiful, but oh well ( and this is not sarcastic Nathan).

anyway. . . .My on-line novel study project with Grigor Zohrap - school number 43 - is well on its way. I am so excited for the actual discussions with the students to take place. They should start up when the students return to school in February. I can't believe they have such a long break! What I think is so cool about the project is the will to participate by school number 43. The staff there is so amazing and open to new ideas. If anyone has any insight about issues such as teaching democracy in the schools, the process, and reflections of if this type of thought is damaging or useful to schools in Armenia - please let me know!

Oh well, I am off to my Eastern Armenian lesson!
