another update

so, its been a few weeks since I gave you an update on what life is like in "the" Ukraine. First off, for some reason, it is no longer, "the" Ukraine, but just Ukraine. I believe it is because when Ukraine was part of the USSR they were a region, so it was the Ukraine, the Latvia, etc. but now, they kind of take offense to it, so JUST DONT DO IT...
anyways, after the great trip to Budapest to see my parents I headed to another volunteers site about 2 hours away from Lugansk for a camp. The camp had about 100 campers from 5th-7th grades. From 9-2 every day for 5 days we had 2 1/2 hours of english class (let me tell you, its hard to decide what students should study for 2 1/2 hours and not be bored as heck. But the weather was great and the kids loved having Americans there to help teach. It went by really quick, but i was ready to go back to Lugansk and relax. And thats what I did for 5 days. Woke up, read, walked around, read, thought about running, read, and then would turn on the Euro 2008 Soccer championships. Good days!
It has gotten a little warmer each day in Lugansk so by now the average temp is 85-90, which meant that i really wanted to buy a fan. Which i did, for about 12$. It is plastic, and deffinitely looks like it was worth 12$. Anyways, putting it together was an experience, because even though the instructions were in English, they didnt really make any sense, so I ended up with 3 extra plastic parts...
On Thursday i took the trian to Kyiv, and Friday took a bus to Rokytna, my staging sight to see the family i stayed with for 2 months back in the winter. It was great to see my host mom and host brothers. The food was excellent and Rokytna is a lot prettier than Lugansk.
Now, i am just sitting in the Peace corps office waiting to go to another summer camp for a week.
Should be fun.
Miss you all,
with love,
