Milestii Mici

Last time I tried to post something I lost my internet connection so hopefully this time I dont lose it.

So we are wrapping up week 2 of PST (Pre Service Training). We go to Romanian class 6 days a week from 8:30 am to 1 pm. From 2-5 pm we have Tech training some days and others we have free time. Until week 3 we cannot leave the village on our own, but after that I am sure I will be traveling to the other sites to visit the other M25s.

Tomorrow we head to Chisinau with our mentors. They are going to show us the sights and bring us to market. Then next Sat June 3rd we are going to the 4th of July Party. Supposedly this is a huge party and is extremely fun, so I am ready for that.

Time has been moving by very fast of late. Our days for the most part are jam packed with things to do and things always pop up. The weather has cooled off a lot. The last few days it has been in the 40s and 50s. Today it is in the 60s. The rain has stopped and tomorrow is suppose to be a beautiful day.

Tonight we are going to a bar in our village the shows the World Cup games on a projection screen. I have watched a few games there and we are friends with the local crowd there.

Emotions

It has been a bizarre, emotional, exciting, exhausting and hot past week. Though the last few days it has cooled down. I am finally here in Milestii Mici Moldova. I will be here till the 1st or 2nd week of August then on to my permanent site. There are 16 ARBD volunteers and we have become a very close bunch.

I wrote that 1st paragraph a week or so ago. Since we have lost a volunteer and are now down to 15. We have an amazing group of volunteers here in Moldova. I am very fortunate to be here. From this point on I am going to try and do a better job keeping up with my blog. Hopefully I can

The First Week

This one will be short. I moved in with my host family in Milestii Mici on Sat. This was a scary experience at first but I have settled in. The first few days and nights were extremely hot and I was severely dehydrated but last night was very cool and so was today. I am hoping tonight will be the same. I finally got my skype working so that is awesome. Today online has been crazy so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to put together a longer post. Sorry
