It will be a busy next two months.

December 27, 28, and 29: The teachers who come to my English lessons for teachers wanted to have some classes over the holiday break. This makes me happy.

January 4: Kiev for a visit to the doctor and then taking a train with a couple other PCVs to L’viv!

January 8: Arrive back to site from L’viv

January 24-27: Russian Language Refresher with 99 other PCVs in Northern Ukraine. Thank goodness, my Russian is not doing so great. But I have been studying lately, so that is good :)

January 30:  My 25th birthday! No plans yet really, but a friend of mine has her birthday on the 29th, so we were thinking of staying in Kiev for a night or two after language refresher.

Also sometime during January: Help compile survey information to present at a meeting in February in Kiev. Also also: Compile ANOTHER surveys information by myself for another meeting in February in Kiev that I may or may not have to go to.

February 2: Training Advisory Council (TAG) meeting in Kiev. Present survey findings…maybe

February 6-10: HIV Preventing Risky Behaviors Training in Kiev…if our application is accepter

February 11&12: Diversipedia, Camp Unity, and MAC meetings in Kiev

February 25: Safety and Security Council meeting, present survey findings with other PCVs in Kiev.

Busy, busy, busy. So that is a possible FIVE round trips to Kiev in 2 months, with four of them being definite. It would have been 6, but luckily I could piggyback two of them together. Oh, did I mention I live a 10.5 hour train ride away from the capital plus a one hour bus ride?

I will be exhausted.
