My mind is Everywhere

So this Friday marks one year left. I can't believe it. I really cannot believe I am more than halfway done with my Peace Corps Service. It is exciting but unnerving. With everything that has been going on recently, my mind has been in about 50 places at once. I jump from today, to the weekend, to next year, to grad school, to 3 weeks ago, all in a matter of seconds. I'm trying really hard to stay in this moment and set specific goals for me to accomplish. This way once tasks are completed I can reset my mind to begin again. This week marks the 1 year mark and a bunch of friends are leaving the country and a bunch more are beginning their service and I'm smack dab in the middle. Betty and I are trying to get work done and are making plans for projects, school visits, certifications. It's an exciting time. Manchitas is huge. She's almost a year old as well. Where has the time gone? They grow up so fast. It really has been March Madness this month and somehow I was able to do a bracket. Totally wrong of course but I guess that's alright. Now I'm just gearing up for Friday to celebrate my Midservice, the completion of service of friends,and the beginning of service for new friends. It's quite an exciting landmark in many ways.
