I Hate Waiting...

Why am I so impatient? I ask myself this far too often. Nobody is as impatient as I am. This is why I have gone through one too many failed relationships, I think. I get excited when something good happens but I have a hard time letting things run at their own pace, and I absolutely HATE games. Stupid "He has to text first, blah blah blah" games. I mean, yeah it usually works....But I still hate it. Anyway, wow that was a tangent. Yes, I am impatient. I always want to speed everything up, like these 5 months that keep me from going to Lithuania now. I'm just really ecstatic to go. I love traveling and having the opportunity to live differently. I'll have to take public transport and walk a lot. I'll live in an apartment. I'll have to probably eat a lot of fish, which I don't normally ever eat. I'll take night trains to get to my foreign destinations. I'll be surrounded by people who I don't understand and who don't understand me, although I AM learning Lithuanian :) It is easier than I expected. Does that sound scary or annoying to you? If so, you should probably just stay at home forever then. Hahaha, that was a joke :) I personally think everyone should get out there and experience these new things. How will we grow if we don't?
I bought myself a DSLR camera, and some Beats by Dre for those times I want to be in my own world, unbothered, which is often. I'm so ready.

Welcome!

Sveiki! Hello! Welcome to my blog. I'll be heading out to Kaunas, Lithuania near the end of August. I have probably started this blog WAY to early, but I get far too excited about travelling and documenting :)

 

If you know me, you know that I taught English in Lithuania in 2013. It was the best experience of my life! I taught through International Language Programs which is an excellent program if you are interested in living abroad. They have teaching and orphanage programs so give them a look! Since I previously taught, I have now been given the privelage of returning as a head teacher. I will be some type of supervisor/guide/instructor to my group of teachers. Also, an excellent benefit to this is.....IT'S FREE! Yes. That is no typo. I paid $2500 in full (due to a TON of help and donations from friends and family) so this time it is free! The only money I will need to bring is for extra activities, extra food, travelling, etc. My flight, daily meals & housing will be all paid for. Isn't that so excellent? :) And even more exciting, after my semester in Kaunas, I get to go back to Vilnius! I'll go home for a couple weeks for Christmas holidays and then jump on a plane and head to my favorite favorite place :) I miss it so so much. And even better, my best pal Amy and her friend Becca will be joining me! I am excited to show themeverything and share my love for that place with good friends.

Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania, after Vilnius. It's about an hour away from Vilnius, so I will be close to home and can visit anytime by train :) When I was in Vilnius before, I never even visited Kaunas. We passed through it one time and went to a mall. I wish I would have actually visited it though. It's soooo beautiful and charming, don't you think?

 

 

I'm only just a little excited. Okay, that's an exaggeration. I'm beyond flipping out excited. I think about it every single day. 

Here's to 5 more months of waiting!
