So, this is it: my last blog post from American soil. That is, unless I get bored at JFK later on. Speaking of, we hop a bus from Philly in about 45 minutes to head to JFK. (See that? That's called a transition.) From there, we get on flight to Munich and land tomorrow morning. Then it's a couple more hours to Bucharest, and a couple more hours (by bus) to our training site: Targoviste. We should be there by Thursday afternoon. We'll stay in a hotel Thursday and Friday nights, then meet our host families (gazdas) Saturday.
Yesterday, after everyone met at 12:30 and got registered, we did a bunch of staging activities and training. It's a lot of ice breakers and info, but it goes by quickly and is overall enjoyable. I'm pretty pumped about our group -- lots of good people; I can already see some great friendships starting.
Sounds like during pre-service training (the 10-week period that follows arrival) is going to be pretty busy, and time not spent in the classroom will be spent on language. Therefore, I might be in radio silence for a while. I trust you to find something to occupy yourself without the warming glow of my wit. Until next time.
Loving the blog already. Good luck and safe travels. Can't wait to hear more once you get settled in Romania.
