He says he is going to move to a warmer apartment and make a serious effort to get a phone. He’s thinking about how to get email; he will either buy it himself or try to get his school to buy it. He says the school probably should not get email because they do not have the money; they need chalk-boards more than email, and he would most likely be the only person using it. He also has the goal to get a piano once he moves into a new apartment. He’s training people at his school on how to use the computer. He says it’s easy to give computer lessons, but difficult to give computer lessons in Russian. He’s being tutored in Russian twice a week. He talks about his town’s English Olympiad, which is a leftover academic competition from the Soviet era. He is teaching the English Teachers’ Association how to write to international organizations for books. Then, he plans on teaching how to write a grant for an English-Russian typewriter and copier machine that can be used to write worksheets and tests rather than writing them by hand. He includes pictures of the day he was signed in as a volunteer from the summer in Kapchagay. One is with his host family, and the other is with his friends and their host mothers.
