Getting Closer

Leaving next month is now feeling more real. Last Friday I received my staging packet, via email which was not expected. I fly out of Lambert on 3-30 at 8:15 am and arrive in Philly at 11:35am. I then check into my hotel and register. From 3 - 7 we have our staging meetings; that's it, just one night, 4 hours. I expected that we would use both complete days for the staging process. So anyways, Tues 3-31 we leave at 7am for JFK and then fly the 7 1/2 hrs to Frankfurt, Germany and from there switch planes and fly the remaining 2 1/2 hrs to Kiev!

From there I'm not sure what happens.

I sold my car to Aubree, sister, this weekend. So no more personal transportation. I feel like I've lost a little bit of freedom. But I got a good amount for it and can now take care of some bills! Hooray! :)

The bigger thing - I resigned from my job yesterday. That feels the most awkward. I was scared to tell my boss...kinda like I was just abandoning; especially since I haven't even been there for a year. Oh well. On to bigger and better things! No way I can stand to spend large amounts of time speaking on the phone with people...it just gets way to boring.

Peace!

Losing my stuff

So it has come to my attention, through correspondance with fellow PCVs (Peace Corps Volunteers) and others, that there is a possiblility my luggage will not arrive in Ukraine with me. hmmm...makes me a little nervous since I will be packing 2 years of stuff into 100 lbs of luggage. I guess this will make a great future entry.

Feel free to place bets on whether or not my luggage will arrive...I know I will be. :)
