I’m off to TO in like 3 days and this is starting to actually feel real! I’m still at home with my family in Chatham and getting pretty excited to go! I’ve been running around getting things together as well as relaxing with the fam, waiting for Tuesday when I take the bus to Toronto for a week of training then off to Ghana (May 6th)! I’m confident because I know what I’ll be doing and where I’ll be living, but I’m nervous because I don’t know what I’ll be doing and where I’ll be living….does this make sense??? I can picture how things will be as much as I like but I’m sure things will be different, unknown, foreign, and uncertain when I hit the ground.
So I’m getting all packed and pumped to go, and it’s been good to see some friends and family before leaving. I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog, so if there’s anything any of you would like me to post about or share, or if you have any questions now or during the summer please don’t hesitate to share them with me and I’ll do my best to answer them.
