This week I discovered that my date of departure is now July 6th instead of August!!  While I am incredibly excited to get into the field as soon as possible, this sense of everything being urgent has overcome me!  I have 27 days until graduation and an immediate departure to Europe.  When I get back from Europe on Memorial Day there is no time to wrap up the loose ends of friendships!  One month in the Yoops then off to the Middle East!  I just hope that it gives me enough time to say my goodbyes, arrange all my things, and mend up any imperfect friendships!  So much for that summer long brush-up on Arabic I was going to do. .I will have to hop back into the language as soon as I get there!!!
