Oh Jeez!

So, I just made this blog because some guy that my dad works with has a daughter going to Africa too and she did it. It's a wayyy better idea than sending out seperate emails, I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before. So for all of you that I told I would email-scratch that! Just check the blog!

I'm ready for the trip in the sense that I go my hepatitis A and B shots, got a tetnus booster, already took my typhoid medication, have my malaria medication filled, have my travelers diahrrea filled (gross right??), and I've bought some new clothes. But am I ready?!!??! I ask myself this everyday and usually come to the same conclusion: that it's going to be AMMMAAAZZING! But I still don't think it's hit me that in three weeks I'll be there.

Between now and departure day I'm going:
-attempt to learn some of the local language (student movement gave us a suggested list)
-Make what I'm sure will be multiple trips to walmart with my mother who already has like 5 post its around the house of stuff she thinks of for me to bring. Thanks mom, love you!
-Book a flight to D.C. where I meet the other interns!
