Ugh, Arg.

I have a cold :( Its really quite bothersome - why couldn't it have waited a month and a half? Right now I'm on drugs so I don't feel it so much, but yesterday and most of today it was terrible.

I finally have two of the new computers at the classroom, and they really are wonderful. They have Windows 2000, working USB ports, CD drives, and even a speaker; built - in! I've set one of them up for the students to use (so I'm now up to 4 computers with Powerpoint), and the other one I am using to keep track of student's marks, and to work on the various books I'm sort-of-creating. They don't want to setup a full classroom (7) of these new computers (which I do) so for now I'll just be taking a couple at a time to install the software, and then send them back. Even just having the one for me to work on has made a huge difference, I'll be able to do way more work than before!

This morning we had a beautiful presentation about the life of Mona, a Baha'i Martyr from 1982. Today would have been her 41st birthday. Myself and a few others were in tears by the end. The video "Mona with the Children" can be seen here - it was part of the presentation.

Other than that there really isn't very much news from here. I'm feeling quite at home and at ease with living, and I have lots to do, which is really good. As the time of my return draws nearer and nearer I find my thoughts straying more and more to home - sort of like when I first arrived. Fortunately I have lots to do, to keep my mind off it, and I can now make lots of work if I run out! I am looking forward to comming home - and now Grandpa wants me to come to Winnipeg to visit them and Uncle Stephen wants me to go to Ottawa to visit them...! But before anything else - home.

More news in a week or two.
