It's Time


"So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?"

What an incredibly busy year this 3rd year is going to be! I am LOVING it! The quick trip to the States really refreshed me and allowed me jump right into everything with my ridiculous brand of energy and enthusiasm. Today I visited a leaving PCV in Sheki and got to see the first snow fall of the season. It was heavenly...mainly because I knew eventually I'd be leaving that area for my Barda...sweet Barda where it rarely snows.

Soo for up-coming and current projects (both my own and ones I'm helping with) this 3rd year:
Soccer Field with a Running Track
Recycling Art Project
Recycled Materials Playground
HIV/AIDS Awareness
Organic Markets
PSA's Videos
Master's Project
Women's Group
Flag Football Club
Previous Sports Clubs
Basketball & Volleyball Tournaments

I guess since I'm making lists, I'll put my personal goals as well...
Better at Azerbaijani
Learn Russian
Study for the MCAT
Write my DAMN thesis!
Do Yoga daily.. (gotta replace the running somehow)
Learn to play the guitar
Read more books

I know that some will drop away and more will be added. I'm sure either way that it goes, it'll be a great year full of challenges, great moments, and learning experiences.
