Finally, I am off to the far east lands of Africa! Who would have ever thought this to actually be possible? Certainly not I and after this summer of procrastination, I mean serious procrastination, I started to wonder if this was really going to happen. To everyone who has helped me in this process (the list is too long to mention), I owe a huge thanks to each and every one of you!
So I am typing this on my first flight to Detroit and I just realized, I am a tad cold and not to my surprise, I have forgotten the ONLY sweater I was going to bring. Crap, where is my heating pad when I need it? Sigh…I live in my sweaters and to sacrifice all of them except ONE and then to forget the damn thing. Argh! On the brighter side of everything, I have my music!
Anyhow, I am extremely excited to be taking baths with buckets, figuring out how to work the bathroom sink, and laying on the cement to cool down. Perhaps when I get there, it wont be nearly as funny as I think it is, but till then I will continue to smile and laugh! I think Amanda and I will get along great…she seems to have a great sense of humor and though I know I will be much entertainment for her while adjusting the first week or so, I will be laughing too. Maybe I will not only come back weighing less, but I just might develop some abs from laughing so much!
Sigh, another big sigh. Hopefully these big sighs and deep breaths go away soon. Slowly but surely everything is starting to happen. I suppose that’s Africa timing for you. I am going to post the link to Amanda’s blog on here…she might write more than I and I actually think you’ll enjoy reading her writing. She writes very well and has been kind enough to inform me of a few things…such as the day after I arrive someone from our host family is getting married. Whoa!
