Again, It is great to hear from you all! Thanks for the laughs!!

Props to all those who have found jobs and schools. It really is a lot of work. Speaking of work, I have been given the title Family Assistant! My sister just bought a nice 2-story house. So yes, my work has indeed expanded. My daily jobs include dishes (with good smelling soap), laundry (can we consider this a chore?), and installing ceiling fans (garage door opener is next).

Last week I bought two plane tickets for Europe. Andrew and I are going at the end of this march/returning beginning of May. We'll be meeting up with Frank in Ireland!

I had a huge high today. I took public transportation, and yes, it was everything I thought it could be! It was better than biting into my first number 2 at McDonalds. The atmosphere was very similar to Malawi in terms of people helping me out, yet I did not have to share my seat with three other people or hang on for dear life. I did however stick out like a sour thumb - Hummm why? Well, I was....

1. The only white girl
2. The only one with a HUGE smile sitting straight up in her seat with eyes wide open
3. The only one with her face behind three different bus map info pamphlets
4. The only one saying, "Isn't this transport the best!...No really, It is out of this world!" to everyone (two times okay three times)!

All in all it has been my most memorable day in Amelica. I am looking forward to taking the bus again! Tomorrow I begin substitute teaching, and I cant wait to get comments like the ones Tom heard.

Much pc love!
Sarah
