Almost....

Things are finally coming together and my semester in Tanzania is finally becoming a reality. I've got my ticket information, visa, and I've received all of my shots (although I could have done without feeling like a human pin cushion!). Now it seems like it is only a matter of time before I am landing in Dar es Salaam! I think that it is sinking in... I am really going to be spending three months in Africa! The only problem is that now I feel like I don't have enough time to finish pulling everything together. I have a week left until I go to El Salvador and after that I only have three weeks until I leave on the 9th for Tanzania. So much is going to be packed into my last month in the States - I simply have to make the most of the precious little time I have left with all my friends here. Part of me is still anxious about missing out on a whole semester of events and activities on campus. But I suppose that my mind is calmed by the fact that this upcoming semester will provide me with the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to spend three months getting college credit for learning about what I actually might want to do with my life, live abroad and work with local people for social justice and human rights. I can't say it enough... I am more excited than I ever have been in my life.
Here's to the trip of my life.
Peace.
