Ukraine update

Well, I was disheartened to get an email from the Ukrainian Summer School folks. It turns out that my procrastination has worked against me. The program is already filled! I've been put on a waiting list because very often some volunteers cancel out....
But....
It isn't over yet. Apparently this year they also run a short program in June for about 45 seminarians, and this program takes place in the city of Lviv in a brand new seminary building! It's only 2 weeks long, but actually this could work out in my favor even better. If I signed on for the June program and liked it, I could possibly teach for the first program, but then, if someone canceled, I could stay on through all of July in the second program. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Also, the shorter program takes place right over my birthday. How cool would it be to turn 25 in Ukraine?! Of course I'd be surrounded by a bunch of strangers, but I could still always say that I turned 25 in Lviv. This may solve my whole: "Where will I be for my birthday this year?" question that I've been struggling with.
Obviously I need to take this to prayer. June is right around the corner. He who hesitates is lost, so I'm going to give my answer tonight.
