7 Days

In exactly 1 week I will be in Philadelphia along will all my fellow PC trainees preparing for our next to years in Uganda. Amazing.
I don't really have much to write about now, but I can pretty much guarantee something interesting within the next few months.
Right now I can just imagine what it will be like: the beauty of the country, the hospitality of the people, and all the new friends I'm traveling half way the world to meet.

Until next time.

Just Around the Bend

My Peace Corps adventure is about to begin. I know these next few weeks are going to fly by and at the beginning of August I will be flying as well. I know my biggest challenge will deciding exactly what to take and what I will foresee needing for the next 2 years (not that I won't have access to items).
I am seriously considering not taking my laptop; it would be one less relatively expensive item I would not have to keep track of. That just means more paper to write everything needing recorded. Any other thoughts?
I will be getting my hair chopped within the next week. I am so glad I visited my undergraduate professors...needed to hear the practical side that I seemed to be overlooking: shorter hair=less water required to wash.

Until later.

Preparation

The time is ever getting less as August 2nd quickly approaches.
I am working to get some items of business completed before I leave for my extended trip to a place thousands of miles away.
Getting ready. Attempting to get ready anyway. Not sure if anyone can be truly ready for a lengthy excursion to an unknown place, a place I have not experienced.
I do know flexibility and patience will be my companions, for without them the experience may not be all the adventure is meant to be.

The Beginning of a New Adventure

Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginnings of what will take me to a country thousands of miles away.
Uganda, it will not be long now.
