For the curious, there were no entries this past week while I spent my time at a mid-service conference in Pazarjik, down around Southern Bulgaria. I only went to an interent club once and didn't really have time to do anything exciting there.
I can't say there's all that much to report from the conference. We got to meet all of the new volunteers, who will be "real" volunteers this Friday after their swearing-in and they got to receive the benifits of our year of experience. Most of the benefit came out of us venting at them at the front of lecture halls. Everybody had something to say about their little devil baby students and the things that could be done to make them slightly less devil baby-ish. I think some of the newbies were put off by it all, but most got something out of it, I hope.
So that leaves me here, briefly in Sofia on the way back home. We have a new headquarters here in Peace Corps Bulgaria and it's a fantastic pain in the ass to get to, but it still has pretty speedy internet, for free, so that's something. Much, much more tomorrow, if you're interested.
