Today has been a big day. Mongolia won a gold medal in the Olympics in heavy weight (100 kilos or more Judo). One American with 32 medals to their nations name may ask why this is a big deal – it is the first time Mongolia has won a gold medal i ever.  Everyone is super excited, one of the news casters was balling as the national anthem was played – he was super emotional.

Also today I met my supervisor for the next two years. He seems super nice, but he doesn’t speak English and well I am not so great at Mongolia so we had some awkward conversations. But he is nice and a good singer (actually he was the only Mongolian guy that sang at our talent show).  I really like he a lot.  He tries really hard to talk to me which is good!

Center days are always super packed. We have lots of classes and then tons of stuff to do especially since I found out I am going to be in a small town when I get to site, so I want to do stuff in the city. Also I have to go shopping – I need a big bag I have no idea how I am going to get all my stuff to site.
