21 Months to go

Today is the 6 month anniversary of my arrival in Mongolia. So far I've made a lot of new friends, learned the language, and seen a good bit of the country. Since my trip to UB I have a lot of new ideas for what I want to accomplish at work. And after interviewing transalators all day on Friday, I think we found someone I can work with. I should get a lot more done now. I'm also starting my english lessons at the market. I got some advice from a sitemate who's been teaching here for a year. She said that with mixed ability classes you should start with the basics. I've never taught reading before, but I think she's right. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'll keep you posted. Wish me luck.
