Poor Kitty, Hindi Convention, and A day in NYC

Picasso IS Alive. He needed an estimated $900 to save him! (catheters, updated shots, anesthesia, intensive monitoring, antibiotics, removal or crystals in bladder, and the list goes on) ahhh I just started crying ridiculously and told them to put him down. Well the vet staff all started crying too. And I heard the cat doctor saying "she better not feed him that crap food anymore" They did the surgery for the same price I was going to pay to have him put down.

WOW convention was very different! Hearing things in your mother tongue makes such a difference! I can't wait for English next week! I had to listen so hard! It gets so tiresome so after 6 talks of that I just zoned out. But then I remembered ha this is in English just across the hall. So, yes, brother Losch's concluding talk was absolutely amazing! It was very encouraging seeing people from so many different Hindi groups. There are a lot more than a thought! I met the nicest people from Montreal and now I really want to go visit them! It seems like quite a lot of the Indian people speak English better than Hindi. (The younger ones did their schooling all in English and a lot of the older ones have just been here such a long time that speak english better) But, they all seem to love listening to Hindi. So many people said that Hindi is just so comfortable to listen to. I bet it just sinks into their ears they way English does to mine. Pretty much all of the groups I think have had a class, so maybe we will too!!!

I have a new found love for Indian food- I think its called jumbaleya- mushy vegetables have never tasted so good! The family I stayed with were so nice and cooked like crazy! Oh and the Indian Chai tea every moring! Starbucks doesn't even come close.

I haven't gotten to NY but i will finish later

HOLA! MI HERMANAISIMO EN COSTA RICA. LA PLAYA DEL MAR MUY CALIENTE EN EL VERANA. CIAO

This has been a very good month! Doing nothing but service last month was awesome because you get a fresh set of calls! I only need like 40 hours this month so I got to work a lot.... and skip service and just go on calls/studies. I was so thrilled to have all these regular bible studies but tried not to get too excited knowing they could all quit anytime.....Then sadly my favorite one!!!! weirdly decided not to study anymore. :( Which was super sad!! But I am determined to find new ones.

This week is Convention in New Jersey!! YAY. I am so excited, I hear Stanley Theater is amazing. And I can't wait to go to New York, only for a day but it is going to be awesome!!!!! And then there is English convention the next week!

Even more exciting news-In 2 weeks we are having our first CO visit for the group!

Played a surprisingly not so long game of risk last weekend. That game is so addictive and it can keep you up way to late. Me and kathy formed a very secret alliance via text..... hahhaha then we both right after each other turned on our former alliance and yes took over the continents!!! (we would have beat you too....SEAN) P90X cardio is my all time favorite exercise video. The more I do it the more I love it! I just want to be able to finish it sooooo bad!

NEW arcade fire

Wow the new arcade fire album is not like anything else I have heard before. I love all the songs, some of them are so heavy.... Sprawl II- This song reminded so much of driving around the outskirts of San Francisco. And the crazy commuting they do from the suburbs to the city everyday. And the giant bridges that they cross to get from their house to work. And yes, the mountains of malls.
I really like Modern Man, too. It made me think of the internet for some reason. It is so modern but its so intangible that sometime it seems so absurd how much time is spent on it. And I heard that there is this big place where you can turn the off switch and it will shut down all servers. Here today, gone tomorrow.

In line for a number but you don't understand
Like a modern man
In line for a number but you don't understand
Like a modern man

Oh I had a dream I was dreaming
And I feel I'm losing the feeling
Makes me feel like
Like something don't feel right
I erase the number of the modern man
Want to break the mirror of the modern man
Makes me feel like
Makes me feel like

i got it!!!!! for real

I am so excited. I officially got the job as the after school music teacher assistant!! My mom is rather appalled that they would let me assist in teaching! Whatever! I can read the left hand notes and its more like babysitting! They are going to look for schools that are a half an hour away, hopefuly they have some close. I am so excited, such a change of pace, I love little kids! I was so irritated at my boss the other day... oh I just kept praying for self control not to call him a cheap old grump- He literally probably said 5 sentences to me all day- "I need you to work next saturday"-great, then after he makes the wrong drink because he refuses to let me recite the customer's order or write on the cups, he says "she'll come back if she really wants the white mocha"!!! Ahhh. And it hurts to make iced coffee out of days old light roast just because he is so cheap! Then I can't suggest iced coffee throughout the day because I know it is old and watered down when it is usually bold and double brewed and delicious. However, I do really still love my job- its fun when its busy, and its great to get to study when its slow.

This has been a very hot hot hot month. Pas Secret did not play. Because the song we are learning sound like a dying cow. We will, however, practice again soon sometime maybe, ah its a secret.

Travis and Avril are visiting soon!!!!!!!!  AHHHHHH 

I am so excited! I got a job as a music teacher assistant! I haven't officially accepted it, as of yet, but I plan on it. I think it is more like babysitting-after school care, which is good because I don't know how to play the piano, yet they still said I could jump on board!!YEAH. I hope they transfer me to being Ruby's assistant- she is a teacher there. The classes are only one hour a day though! So I'll keep my Barnies job- But they said I could work the days I want- mon tues wed- which is i think will be great because those are the days I work at barnies AM!

Oh my preparing to apply for this nurse program is quite difficult. I can only imagine that a lot of interested people became very not interested after seeing the check list to apply. That's nice, less competition. I bought the official study guide for this entrance test- most boring 60 dollars I have ever spent- But it will be nice not to stress and just read the book and then hopefully pass it! YES!

I'm finally ahead of my service time!!! I only need like 40 hours this month oh it feels so good. 

I inherited an old iphone and it is so addicting- me and nina played scrabble for 4 consecutive days ohhhh she is such good competition, I didn't beat her once-but now I can beat everyone else!!!!!! I really recommend the game words with friends free! It is the best little electronic game!
