The time keeps ticking away

I can't believe it's less than 2 weeks away until I leave for staging and then Bulgaria! I'm very excited to get started yet nervous to start something completely new. I've been going through my things to decide what I need and what I want to bring with. It's hard to fit everything into a few bags. I've been busy visiting people, organizing things, and packing things (preliminary). I have to go through everything again to make sure I have everything I need at staging. I was a bit upset I had to get an H1N1 shot but that's done now. Now I just need to fill out some forms and make sure things are in place for when I'm not in MN. Oh, and my computer cord broke so I'm waiting on that for consistent internet use (for the time being I have to use the parents computer). These last days are going to be crazy.

Interested in Bulgarian?

I'm working to master the Bulgarian alphabet. It's a tricky one as it is 30 letters and has more difference than similarity to the English alphabet. I've added a picture for you to see what it looks like. I'm hoping to know all the letters and sounds within the week since I'll be doing some traveling and have more time available. Heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to see Sonya and Karthik! Then Naples, Florida to see Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa, can't wait to drive back to MN with you and stop by Memphis for the Civil Rights Museum! Obviously, I'm very excited to get moving yet can't believe I'm leaving in a little over one month. woo hoo!
