t-4

Six hours. One paper. done. 

Japan and their weird cultural habits are keeping me grounded. 

I refuse to let myself feel, its too much trouble at this point. 

Bags are 90% packed.

We don't have a scale.. hmm. 

Slideshow for spectacle. done. 

Skype date, then bed. 

One more day of teaching:]

Carpe Diem?

t-5 a sweet disposition

There are so many Americans! I've never seen so many Americans in my life! Guard your bags..
St. Andrews has never been so crowded. But for one lass horray, it was worth it. I wanted a t shirt, but who wants to buy a t shirt in Ukraine that is in english. NOT ME! I got some super cool stuff though. 
Cherry vereniki is best in air conditioned pzahta hatas:]
"Lets be tourists".. says Kaitlin...Why not..
Somehow, our artist drawer man decided that I have bucked teeth. This is what I get for letting my american show.


Ice cream is way too good here. 
"Can we go run around the corner and cry??" Yes. 
What kind of drunk would YOU be??


Britney, what will make you feel better?- Natalie
Dumping this bottle of water on Derricks head.-Britney

T-6

Sometimes I lose my patience.

Sometimes I get ahead of myself. 

Sometimes I feel pretty dumb. 

Sometimes I eat manna for breakfast..ok like every day.

and sometimes Savage Garden can express my feelings better than I can. Hello 90's childhood.

I didn't make it to Andrivski this morning. Boo Kaitlin and your lack of inventory;]

I need to study for my test. 

I need to finish music and slideshow for spectacle.

Its 11am. 

I'm still laying in bed, yet have so much to do. 

I wonder if all of my stuff will fit in my suitcases.

I really hope that iceland does not blow up and I get stuck in Germany. 

Then again, Germany might be a party. 

My phone has still not showed up. hmm.

This is me trying not to think. My brain is temporarily out of service- too many emotions to file.. caution- meltdowns ahead. 

I have said too much, I am afraid. 

Kaitlin, can I quote you too? X10..minus the babushka.



Hold Your Own. Know Your Name. Go Your Own Way. 
Everything will be fine. 

T-7

Spacebags are present and ready to go. 

weird. 

Who would have thought I'd ever be eating an egg, cheese, chili ketchup and mayonnaise sandwich? not me. yumm. 

My phone broke.. then i lost it today...it might have gone down the trash shoot. shoot. 

St. Andrivski again tomorrow with Kaitlin and friends for our last mid week hoorray! Hoorray!

Then weekend Kyiv days. This one should be fun. 

It's about 7.30pm. The next 4 hours are devoted to the Japanese and their mysterious ways of Pre- funeral planning. Why is everything assigned for this class have something to do with Japan?

Last weekend in Ukraine. Lets party:] 

Check out my awesome tan! ...

and Kaitlin's christmas bell shoes:]

it's your happy birthday!

Study break in celebratian of today.


Who would have thought that two of my very best friends were born on the same exact day.


Happy Birthday Kaitlin Jackman & Kristina Hahn!


20..phew. That's old. But guess what, I'm next.


Time is a funny thing. Today we read our 1 year predictions for our group. A year from now you will be (insert ridiculous statement here)..


According to my fellow teachers I will be "living my fairly tale/movie like life" by doing the following in exactly 1 year:
*Married.
*Traveling the Globe & Married.
*Head Teacher for ILP in China.
*Calling Kaitlin a lot.
*Opening a fashion boutique.
*Moving to Utah to finish my degree at USU, after getting married.




I think I got all of them...minus one that said something about me going into some kind of science of evolution or something at school.. I don't think I got any mission comments. Any thoughts?


Who knows if some of these will actually come true but it has got me thinking. 1 year ago, I would not have imagined all of the things I would do in the following year. Holy crap has it been a year! All I knew a year ago, that I would be graduating in two days and I would move to Utah to go to school in the fall.


In the last year I have flown over the atlantic ocean multiple times. I have been to five different European countries- Sweden twice. I never would have thought that I would end up living in a Post Soviet country...or ukrainian hospital. I have survived +9 hour time difference from my awesome family and a 5 month long distance relationship. I have cried, laughed and ate some of the most amazing food ever. I have met people that have changed my life, forever.
Woah. That's a lot of stuff. 


Sometimes I really think that the only reason I came to Ukraine was to meet my lovely Katroosa. Words cannot describe how much I love her. Happy Birthday <3


Ill stop myself before I get too in-depth.. this is not THE post. I still have a few more days to write that. 10 to be exact:]

people stare:]
