Almost done with this year
My third semester as being a teacher in School#1 in Jermuk, Armenia is almost over, and my time as a Peace Corp volunteers is winding down. I am proud of what I did this semester. I have taught many lessons about prevenative health, how to maintian being healthy, and have taught about the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I also did a lot of HIV/AIDS education in the capitol, Yerevan as well.
I have one more day left at school, then 4 more days before I leave for America. I am very excited to come and see everyone, and also because I know I worked hard and accomplished a lot this semester.

In Yerevan
So tomorrow is World AIDS Day and today myself and other volunteers will be putting up posters and folding brochures to hand out to people, final preparations.
Tonight I will stay with some friends in the nearby city of Sevan, and then tomorrow will be back in for the big day.
Before I left for Yerevan on Friday, my counterpart at school mentioned working on a grant to help my school out with some new sports equipment, so I am really excited to take this project to the next step.
Will update after World AIDS Day.

College Football Drama
So this crazy system we have in college football has caused me, a Texas fan who bleeds burnt orange to have have hoped for OU victories two weeks in a row. Last week it happened, and amazingly Texas hopes for winding up in a national championship were reignited. This week we need a small victory over Ok State, just enough to keep the three way tie, but not enough to push OU ahead of Texas in the BCS rankings. Half time score- 21 to 13, OU in the lead. Keeping my fingers crossed.
