18 days and counting...

so i'm sitting here in mcdonald's waiting for my train and i have to just throw this out there...romanians love to mop (and sweep) but really mop! i've been here for maybe 20 minutes and the place has been mopped twice already. all the halls in my school get mopped between every class. that's commitment to cleanliness and i am very appreciative of it, although it makes for wild ride with no traction on the bottom of my rain boots :(

anyways...happy december! wow time is just flying. the day after i land in the states will mark our 7th month in country. it feels like just yesterday i was getting ready for this whole journey and now i'm smack dab in the middle of it, planning a trip back to the states. the time that has passed though, has not served to make live any less crazy or adventurous.

thanksgiving was a hit. it was a nice time to get together with other volunteers and romanians as well that came along to experience the holiday with us. it wasn't exactly like turkey day in america, in fact we didn't even celebrate on thursday (seeing as how we didn't have off of school). nonetheless it was a relaxing weekend and i think we all enjoyed ourselves.

clela and i preparing the stuffing (well all i did was dish it in the pan)

my friend, blanka, and i

our buffet style dinner. romanians got to go first!

this is us after the dinner. just hanging out. volunteers and four romanians that stayed the night with us!

the next few weeks are bound to be insane. this weekend i will be hanging out in the mountains, hopefully seeing some cool stuff. and then next week we have our in-service training...yay! so looking forward to seeing everyone, not so much missing the volunteers we've lost thus far, but i am hoping that it will be great fun with everyone together. one more week of school and them i'm leaving on a jet plane ;) it'll be here before we know it! i'll try to bring some goodies with me, but if there are any requests out there let me know!

i also uploaded a lot more pics...and they are being captioned right now so go so click the "picasa" link to the right and check them out!
