So I've been saying that I was going set this up for the past few days, but in my typical fashion I waited till the absolute last minute to do so. As I write this I'm sitting in the international terminal of the Atlanta airport. It's about 2:15 which gives me about two hours in the good ol' U.S. Today was crazy as hell: I only got about three hours of sleep and the second I woke up I had to go and do some last minute shopping for a few items I had forgotten to pack. And of course, I had done absolutely no packing until about an hour before dad came by to take me to the airport. It did get done though. I guess you could call my planning style Moldovan, there's no real apparent method to the madness but in the end it all works out (and it's fun).
It's been dawning on me for the past week or so that this trip will signify the longest time I've been out of the country. What makes that even weirder is the fact that I will be the ONLY American student in Moldova that's not a part of the Fullbright program or in the Peace Corps. Quite an odd realization. The next few months will definitely be interesting. But I'm sure since you're actually taking the time to read my ramblings about life in the former Soviet Union you will hear of my exploits and the general insanity of the situation I've put myself into. The next time I write in this blog I'll be settled into my apartment in the capital of the Republic of Moldova. Thanks for reading.
