Just about at the mid point in May, and I guess I can says its the beginning of the end. Only two more weeks of school left and then wrapping it up. Basically, I have been on cruise control that last week or so, mainly just going to where I have to be and trying to enjoy myself the most I can, while not letting much get to me. This coming week all we have is an exam to give to the students and thats it. No more lesson plans, no more meetings to create lesson plans. Just taking it day by day and doing what I have to do. Thus being said, its starting to hit me that I will be leaving shortly. Mainly, because I began to fill out my final paperwork and schedule my medical physicals and all the fun stuff. Kind of feels like it is harder to get out of the Peace Corps than to get in! But, I got alot done today and will be making some trips to the capital in the next two weeks. It is looking like I will be flying out June 3rd or 4th, but has to be before the new volunteers arrive and everything is mayhem. I am trying my best to stay motivated, but it is become harder and harder. Furthermore, seeing some of my friends here, for what maybe the last time ever, is also getting harder and harder. I find myself saying "Only, 2 more weeks" to people when they ask, and then I realize that I may never see them again. Its becoming a bit more difficult than I imagined.

In other news, I had the opprotunity to get to a "real" Moldovan wedding. My host mother's niece got married last weekened and it was a blast. Lots of photos are posted. Hours of dancing, eating and drinking. We didnt get home till 5 am and then went to the parents of the groom's house for more wine and soup the next day. Basically it was a two day party and I was dragging at school on Monday. It was great to meet lots of new people and relatives of my host mom.

But I know this one is short, but I am getting ansy. Comparable to when you are on a long vacation and actually find yourself wanting to be home. That's where I am. Hope this finds you all well. Love and miss you all, and hopefully see you in 3 weeks!!
