I have a busy few weeks coming up, so its nice that this one has been so calm. This weekend sometime I have to go into Varna, the big town near here w/ a grocery store, and get brown sugar and evaporated milk so I can make Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving (b/c my mother already mailed me the spices, how nice). I have a curry night at a British house Saturday, and my landlady's brother and daughter are coming over during the day. They have to kill some of the bunnies, the bigger ones. It sounds sad, yes, but they eat them. She cooked some for me once, it was very good. I don't think I want to witness "it" though, because sometimes I help feed them, and they're cute and fluffy.
Next week I'm going into the school again to visit each class and give a little presentation about Thanksgiving. What we do, why we celebrate etc. And then we'll make hand turkeys, piligrim/indian hats, and for the older ones prolly origami since its more advanced, but still only requires me to purchase paper. Then I have dance for an extra long session since I am foreign and find some of it difficult, and that's on Thursday aka Thanksgiving. But its ok we're doing our dinner on Friday. A bunch of us from the Varna region are meeting up in Varna, everyone brings a dish. Standard Thanksgiving fare. It should be nice.
Then I have another conference next week. We have to travel Sunday to Plovdiv and check into the hotel. The conference starts Monday and goes until Wednesday. Not sure of the itinerary yet. They sent us a questionnaire asking what we wanted to cover and they'll base the schedule off that. So it should be pretty useful. Sometime during the conference, when we're all together, we'll go to the theater and see Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 1. I am stoked :)
