European Escapades

Thursday, June 29, 2006

This week has been pretty normal

Tuesday- went to work. After work went out for dinner/drinks/soccer with the people from the Human Rights Monitering Institute. We were sitting outside under a tarp watching the game on a huge tv and then it started downpouring and I of course was on the outside. I got soaked. I looked like a wet rat. Then it stopped so we stayed. At the table next to us was this rock singer girl who also poses in playboy out with a basketball star. I thought that was kind of interesting. I wouldnt have ever known if we hadnt been out with locals. Then all of a sudden I looked back and those two were gone and in their place were two guys I met at Broadway on Thursday. That was awkward because I didn't know if they had seen or recognized me. Probably not recognized because I was wet and dressed for work. Keenan, Dave, Brandon and I went to Broadway again that night, but it was pretty quiet.

Wednesday- I woke up early to go with Brandon to apply for his visas to Belarus and Russia so I could get my form for my Russian one. That was an interesting experience. He actually has to go to the Russian embassy tomorrow because they don't trust him. Then I went to the American center to work on revamping the embassy's website, then normal work at the camp. On the way home we went to Europa mall and bought food and whatnot. At night I stayed in and Brandon, Nick, and I booked flights and hostels for a trip to Tallinn and Helsinki next weekend.

Thursday- Today I slept in. Then at about 10 I left and got passport pictures taken for my visa. I bought an oil painting on the way back. Then I went to work and the kids were pretty bad because they dont have a disciplinary system so theres never a punishment for the kids. After I came home and we all had a meeting with Betty which was horrific because she was mad and the guys were all mad and I wasn't really involved. The camp we work at has an overnight camp 100 miles away. Daiva, the coordinator, was under the impression Dave was going for the 13 day camp. Dave didn't think he was. The thing is, she needs a guy to go (or the guys split up the time) because she didn't hire anyone else. But no one wants to go. So there was a lot of tension and I was just sitting there awkwardly with Betty's daughter. Brandon's girlfriend Phoebe is here so thats exciting. Last day of camp tomorrow... then possibly going to Riga on Saturday. Who knows. Were trying out a salsa club tonight but probably will just end up at Broadway.

Hope everyone is having fun! No new pictures... sorry
