Hi from Karawaci

Well it is 4:30 pm and I am home from school. My marriage and family is now two classes., one will meet on Mondays the other on Wednesdays. The students here are very sweet but squirrly so I hope the division will help with class control. That is almost an oximoron. They walk in and out at will. Talk when other things are going on but that is there culture. They are very poor so the students came and got my notes and copied them as US textbooks are to high. It makes for an interesting class when they donot have a textbook to refer back too.

The electricity went out at midnight and I woke up drenched in sweat. Oops, I forgot horses sweat and women glow and boy was I glowing. It came back on about 6 am. And to my surprise the elevator was actually running so I did not have to walk down the stairs carrying my computer case.

Tomorrow I meet and have dinner with two student counselors at the k-12 school to discuss a seminar regarding issues with their students.

Lela and I are off to dinner at the Rice Bowl which was recommended to us. So, I will close for now and hopefully stop yawning. Working on a computer makes me very tired.

Blessings and don't forget to write. I'll answer those ho wrote me sometime this week.

Love, hugs and blessings, ellen
