Last night I looked at the calendar and got totally weirded out that it's practically May already. April seems to have FLOWN by. All day, I kept thinking about how quickly time is passing now. A few of my close A-100 friends and neighbors here at FC have passed their Spanish exams and moved on to ConGen. They will be leaving in June and I'm already feeling sad about it. I have a date for my Spanish exam: June 15. And we have a departure date: Aug. 9!
I think the weather is contributing to this feeling, too. It's been 82 and sunny for 2 days in a row and makes me think summer is here. Of course, it'll go back to 50 and rainy soon enough, but since we leave in the dead of summer, it makes me feel like it's almost time to go.
I have started purging again- clothes and toys are first to go. Luckily Goodwill is right next to FSI- did they do that on purpose? Very smart.
It's also time to buy things! Luggage, car, bedding for the kids, spring clothes. I'd better watch myself as it's only April. :)
We have 2-3 Admin days per month, when we finish class at 10am and are allowed to leave around 1pm to complete necessary tasks. So far, I've been using them for shopping, party prep, cleaning up the house, etc, but I need to start using them to complete tasks like my Shutterfly baby books (which I want to get done before leaving for post) or scanning and organizing paperwork. I like the former task but the latter really bites.
Anyway, that's what's on my mind. That and the fact that my baby girl is now sleeping in a big girl bed. I can't believe how time flies.
We packed up the family and joined the Foreign Service in 2011. Currently in: Mexico City, Mexico!

Amazing isn't it? I too can't believe we're almost in May. :)
Good luck getting all done that you need to do. Hope you're enjoying everything DC, FSI, class has too offer!
Oh, time will get even faster before you get to post. I looked around at my new Casablanca apartment yesterday and said "What!? How did I get there!?"
Good luck with everything!
I'm doing the crazy buying right now too. There's so much stuff we need. YIKES! It's so sad when the baby moves into the big kid bed.:-(
