the WORST blog update of all time.

i know you're thinking, 'twice in one week?? i don't have time for this', unfollow. sorry for the inconvenience but i recently found out some pretty important information and will only have guaranteed internet access for the next 12 hours.

after that i'm being thrown into the ukrainian wilderness and forced to fend for myself in a world where high speed wireless internet lives in the same fantasy land as unicorns and dracula (currently reading about the later, so it's on my brain. did you know van helsing was actually a character from the book!?)

so where might this wilderness be? the one and only largest village in europe. aka konstaninovka, the reno of ukraine. warning: don't google konstantinovka, it will give you other random cities or scantily clad ukrainian women. just google melitopol and then you'll have a good idea of where my general location will be (and this will also show you scantily clad ukrainian women). allegedly, my village/house is within walking distance of the big city. that's right, i said house. i will be living in my very own mini house right next to the house of my landlord.

aaaaaaaand i've run out of time and i need to get up at 530am to finish packing so i'm cutting this blog post off at the knees. i felt i needed to blurt something out there since everyone else did their own "last day of training" obligatory blog post. but now i feel guilty for not talking about my feelings or giving any meaningful information about my life...

these pictures should do the trick:

ukraine's favorite/friendliest poet, shevchenko. he just adores kids.

river flowing alongside chernigov...still can't remember it's name.

there's an entire story that goes along with this squirrel. no energy for stories. suffice it to say, squirrel sightings are a BIG deal in ukraine.
