Unpacking my baggage

It's come to my very last day here, in Romania. My heart is breaking. Waiting at the airport now to board the plane. Been a sobbing mess for most of the weekend. Last night was no exception. Love.

I'm settling into a routine and have adopted certain lifestyle practices - have essentially immersed myself into the culture and it doesn't feel like I'm really a tourist anymore. Beautiful field of sunflowers!!!! I have decided sunflowers are my new favourite flowers :) Here's everything in a nutshell: - My weekend was eventful - too much alcohol in my system. Literally drinking something everyday. I've been trying to learn how to drink beer since Romania is pretty heavy on their beer intake...So let's just say, I can get by now. I still don't LOVE the taste, but I'm better than I was before. PROGRESS. - Thursday night we had dinner at a friend's dormitory and got to meet a bunch of people from Cameroon and Senegal. Friendliest and warmest people ever. Friday night, went out Salsa dancing...but I should be more spe...

Blogging at work. Ha ha. Currently have so much going on. Don't even know where to start with the things I need to do or chase up. Drained. 4-5 hours sleep each night. But I still love it. Busy is good. Will upload when I have a chance to breathe.
