I have reached the "countdown" phase

Well, there are 23 days until i leave!! YAAY!
i got my hair cut short today, in preparation for my adventure. Perhaps too premature, but i can always get a trim. I liked how long it was before i got it cut (just below my sholders), but this style will be A LOT cooler. I can "technically" still pull it back, which is of the utmost importance while i am there. i am currently making a packing list, both of the clothes i want to pack, as well as the stuff i need to buy. I am DEFINATELY ok as far as clothes go...i need no more clothes for africa. But i still need to get hand sanitizer, shout wipes, a compass...that sort of stuff. I have printed out a lot of stuff on Uganda; restaurants and things of that nature, as well as purchased two guidebooks. My carry-on is going to be SOO heavy. I figure when i am done reading the books and stuff i can just send them home via media mail...which isnt too expensive. But i need to pack a few days worth of clothes, in case my luggage gets lost (and from all accounts i have heard that it WILL get lost). I have a feeling that i am going to have to send a lot of things home through the mail...like spears for everyone for christmas haha.

But yea, i have to get back to this list while i remember stuff!
