Winter is coming to a close. The month of March, in which Peace Corps turns 50, is coming to a close. The second Akhalsopeli Computer Training for teachers and doctors just came to a close. A fitting time for a conference regarding two years of service coming to a close, no?
So, back up. The training came to a close. Mostly. There's still a doctor who needs to make up the last two weeks of lessons and take the final exam. I need to consult with Ana about the certificates. And I need to tell her I plan to be a feedback giver on this third (and for me, final) training. Another Volunteer and I plan to compile our training materials into a nice, helpful, Georgian IT Training Material Amassment (title in progress). Thus concludes my contribution of IT to Peace Corps Georgia.
Winter is coming to a close. That means warm weather, physical activity, and smiles, right? Well, warm weather brings with it everything that has pincers, proboscises, and a palate for human flesh. What does that mean for me? 21 bites. Yay! Thankfully, our med staff is amazingly helpful in providing anitihistamines in various mediums. However, my legs haven't been quite the same after a 3 hour walk one day 3 weeks ago. Although I'd like to start waking up my muscles, they're more Georgianized than I thought. So I have another month to walk the balance between enlargening the size of my behind and causing surgery-serious tendon or muscle damage.
March is coming to a close. At such a time was the Close of Service conference, which provided not only a week of hot showers and bugless atmosphere, but also information for looking forward to the next few months of our lives. I realized I need to be thankful for the support I have. I realized I need to start organizing travel plans. I also need to step it up and relish in every moment, both heart-warmingly wonderful and mind-numbingly awful, especially as I head into the next transition.
Peace!

P.S. If you haven't, check out my life!
