La vacanta

Well, I just realized how pathetic my blogging has been of late. I haven't posted anything in the past month or more, and I really do have stuff I wish to pass on. The main problem is that all my free time is taken up in travel. I get these great mini vacations, of 4 to 6 hours all the time, it just so happens that they are on a bus taking me somewhere in Moldova.
So, the recap.
We finished the school year with much fanfare, graduating our 9th graders. Yes they are indeed graduates, as 9th grade is the last obligatory year of school in the great MD. Most kids go on to high school or college though, or perhaps a technical school. My older host brother for example(well, not really older than me, just old enough to not be in the house) has just finished college, and will be headed off to University soon. It is a different system than the US, but seems to work just fine, giving kids more choices in their education.
Once school ended I began the summer sprint. I have been working to help the newly arrived volunteers adjust to life in Moldova, teaching health in other villages, helping out at the new summer camp in my village, and prepping for lessons for English camp, which was a blast, and all too short.
I am about to be kicked out of the computer lab where I am working, so I will sign off, but I just wanted to let everyone know, who might actually still be reading this thing, that I am still alive and kicking, and I hope to get off to a new season of pictures and posts once I get back from vacation. (Yes, I am indeed on vacation, and I actually do have my camera back...wooo hooo).
