As mentioned on previous posts, I had been working on an audio version of Romengleza. The project started sometime in March or April of this year and was COMPLETED this last week!! The picture above just demonstrates how I feel... free, happy, light, and really GOOD! It feels great having accomplished something and knowing that I didn't give up (and that no amount of procrastinating could prevent this moment from finally coming). In all, the project took over 6 months to complete, with 55 individual sound tracks and hours of editing and recording. Thanks to all the youth volunteers who were the Romanian language voices! Thanks to Oana and Catalina for translating all of the English phrases and vocabulary! Thanks to Nils for helping me out with the English language voices! And thanks for everyone's patience as I would sometimes shut out the world, trying to get the project done. YEAH!!!! It's ALL DONE!

What a fantastic feeling it is to finish a project. Many would have given up on such a project because you're no longer in the Peace Corps...so why bother ?
You didn't want to waste the youth voices that had been recorded or the translations that had been done by Romanian friends....I believe that, deep down, you also wanted the next crop of Peace Corps volunteers to have an easier time of learning the language. Maybe provide them the help you would have wanted when you were in the country.
The feeling of satisfaction and pleasure in a job completed and done well is one of the greatest feelings in the world. We can feel that in all kinds of situations. But, as you said it best, Emily, it can only be felt when we hang on til the finish and the job is really done.
We're all shouting "Hoorah for you !"
Love, mOm
Congrats! Now you just need to find a distributor.
It certainly is a good feeling to finally get something that's been dragging on finished with, a large sigh of relief and a sense of accomplishment.
Good job Emily.
So what's next?
Hip Hip HOORAY! Hip Hip HOORAY! :)
Now you can brag in your resume that you did this project!!
This is such a wonderful project, Em. I am really, really proud to be connected to you!
