So....I'm finishing up with my students this week and will have next week to start packing before my epic adventure to New Orleans/Boston/Ukraine-that will leave me about 2 weeks when I get back before I leave for staging. I am feeling pretty good about packing, I've started buying and organizing already. However, I have a feeling that when it comes to the last few weeks, packing for the next two years of my life might freak me out a little bit more. And I've finally started the Arabic lessons that the Peace Corps provided...harder than I would like, but not as terrible as I expected. I also reviewed some French today and it's coming back to me pretty well.
I'm trying to watch as much TV and as many movies as I can before I leave (I wanna get my fill, though from what I'm hearing from current and returned PCV, that's what I'll end up spending a lot of my doing in the next couple of years). I've also really been enjoying the weather-I've gotten to do all my lessons outside for the last few weeks. It's been between 70 and 80 degrees for a couple of weeks and I literally couldn't be happier because of it. It will make the trip to the Ukraine a bigger shock, but at least I get a stop over in Boston to get more used to some cold weather.
Well, this blog post isn't super exciting, but there are a lot of things I have to do before I really really start getting myself ready. Maybe I'll have more interesting insights or things to say as the time draws closer...until then, au revior!
