100 days left

333 days in Lithuania... Time went by fast and suddenly there are just 100 days left!

When I look back to the beginning I have somehow the feeling it is so long time ago.
My arrival in Riga, meeting my flatmates and other volunteers, slowly getting used to everything, my first travel to Vilnius, Riga and so on, visits from my brother and boyfriend, my first time trying to speak Lithuanian,... everything seems so long time ago because so many new things happen every day.

As I showed you my last month was quite full of travel and I had again so many impressions and experiences that I did not realize how fast the time went by.
It is already again one month that I have not seen my little volunteer family from the other Cities and I have to say that I really miss all of them..

One friend has now been in USA for two weeks, the other in Stockholm, others in Amsterdam,... and I wish to see them soon again. But I think these meetings with them are in some cases already the last once.

Sadly now the time has come to say goodbye to a lot of them. Projects ends and several volunteers already leave back to their country. We are starting to organize goodbye parties but to be honest a lot of us really do not want to think about it.

When I look now also forward to the next 100 days I am a bit afraid. Saying goodbye has never been easy for me and usually I prefer to say "See you". Because I think if it should be you always meet twice in life but this time it is different for me..
With a lot of volunteers I had a lot of fun and they inspired me in so many ways but to stay in contact will be very difficult and also not really the right thing. Everybody is going to have a new life again and should live this and not still stuck in old memories in Lithuania. I hope this saying goodbye is going to be easier then I expect. Nevertheless I am sure that with some volunteers I will meet for sure and they will always be part of me now.
