As everybody knows, I have been preparing for my grand adventure to Ukraine for the Peace Corps. And I feel that I have actually been pretty productive about it. I have my nice long, down-filled, winter coat. I have some new skirts, shirts, and shoes for a professional wardrobe. I have been trying to get my Ukrainian as fluent as is possible off of a survival Ukrainian manual. (Which, I would say is pretty good so far- have a ton of flash cards and some homemade posters!) And am now just working on getting Host Gifts in order. And yet now that there is twenty-two days left I feel that I still have so much to do! It probably stems from the concept of that I am truly leaving. As in I will be gone, on the plane, for twenty-seven months. Wow.
So, work has been informed of my departure. More going-away parties are planned. Adventures and experiences planned. Rereading all the books that I love but can't bring with me. And eating all the barbecue sauce, peanut butter, and *homemade and therefor real* Mexican food I can get. Wow, that really makes me come off a as a munch mouth! But, I guess it's true enough anyhow!
So plane tickets booked to DC, and all such shenanigans accounted for, I am off to still yet getting everything done!
