So I never really wrote about some things that have really made me happy recently. It seems all too often many of my blog posts recount my day’s activities or examine something of political or cultural significance. I haven’t explained some of the happenings that I’m looking forward to; thing you should look forward to as well as you read my blog every day for this month.
I am going back to: UKRAINE!!!
I made the decision a couple weeks ago and turned in my annual leave request form to Peace Corps as well. I was worried it might not be approved because it is over a school week, but I got everything worked out to make up all my classes in the preceding week and week after returning. I leave for Ukraine on the 19th and return on the 26th. I will spend my entire time in Kiev. I’m really excited to see my girlfriend and spend an entire week with her. We have a lot of fun things planned. I won’t go into the all, but I’m pretty excited.
I’ve never really talked about my girlfriend on my blog much. Since it has usually friends and family that read my blog I’d love to write more about her—especially considering so many of my friends send me e-mails and Facebook messages asking about her. Thing like: where we met, how we started dating, how long distance is going, what will happen after Peace Corps, what she does, etc., etc. I’d like to write more about her, because she is so important to me, but there are a few things that keep me from doing it. 1) I don’t want to give so much information that it makes her uncomfortable; 2) I don’t want to flaunt anything and be that annoying guy who talks about his girlfriend nonstop; 3) I really want people to meet her and get to know her themselves instead of me just writing about her.
Nonetheless, when I’m in Ukraine I will have to keep up my blog post a day and I’d have to write about what she and I are doing and stuff. So, for anyone just checking in to my blog (which I know many people from the TLG guy's blog came because he quoted something I said about his blog)—I have a girlfriend, she is Ukrainian, I met her through FLEX training. That’s all you need to know for my blog posts later this month to make sense, and that’s all I feel comfortable really saying about her on my blog. We all need to have something we are selfish and more secretive about. It’s hard when people ask me directly about her, because I don’t want to say too much, but I also want to brag about how amazing and life-changing she has been for me.
So, until tomorrow.
