There's more to come!

Hey everyone,

I just started teaching yesterday, so I'm hoping to be in a good routine to write more often (and post in a timely manner).

My mom found a pretty sweet phone card if anyone wants to give me a call. It's at "availcom.com", they are an internet clearing house for hundreds of phone cards. The card she purchased was a "Saturn" phone card, but there were several different options for Namibia. She chose that one because it is refillable (so you don't have to constantly change the PIN), no connect fees, service fee is $.69 biweekly, and was comparable to the other choices at about $.15-.16 per minute... now that's a steal to hear my charming voice I have to say. Just remember that I'm nine hours ahead of Idaho (Mountain Time for anyone unfamiliar) and I work until around 7 during the week. After that, I'm usually free.

I've got to go to work, planning lessons and whatnot, but hopefully you'll hear from me soon. Hope all is well back home!

P.S. I posted a few photos of Mondesa and some kids (mostly randoms, not my actual students) on my picasa site (http://picasaweb.google.com/viroshi/). The connection is still really slow, but I'll try to upload more soon...
