So...I leave in 5 days...in reality more like 4 full days...When i think that, i get a quesy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am not scared just...anticipatory (is that even a word?).
i have talked with almost all of the other students that I will be with on the trip, and they seem amazing!
I actually packed my suitcase today as well..apparently it will all fit in ONE bag, and its only about 45 pounds! YIKES, i find that absolutely amazing...i have 5 skirts, and a bunch of other stuff as well; clothing for camping, meeting MP's, going out dancing, dates (hopefully HAHA...whatever), class, gorilla trekking...wow...
My mind is just so boggled right now!
Oh, and I know have FIVE planes betwixt me and Uganda...oooh man I am going to be the GRUMPIEST person ever! My first one leaves ORD at 7 am CST...then to DC, then to NYC/JFK, then to Amsterdam, then Kenya, then FINALLy uganda...i am not certain the number of hours i will be stuck on jet planes...but suffice it to say it will be over a day and a half...
Oh well at least it will help acclimate me to Africa time, seeing as we get in at midnight, and all i will want to do is sleep!
All in all, it will be worth it!
This Saturday I will be meeting one of the girls I am going on the trip with, she lives near me, in Skokie, so we are going out to lunch. i am excited, even though i already have my pseudo best friend picked out...her name is Emma, and she is from NYC, so we cant really meet prior to Tuesday. Ah well, all will be OK.
Ciao!
